Natural England Traditional Orchard Publications

Last year Natural England published a comprehensive set of technical information notes on traditional orchards. They are free to download and, although sometimes a bit 'wordy', are a very comprehensive guide to caring for existing traditional orchards, and planning and planting new ones.

There are 10 in all

• TIN012 Traditional Orchards: a summary
• TIN013 Traditional Orchards: site and tree selection
• TIN014 Traditional Orchards: planting and establishing fruit trees
• TIN015 Traditional Orchards: an introduction to prunning
• TIN016 Traditional Orchards: Formative prunning of young trees
• TIN017 Traditional Orchards: maintenance prunning
• TIN018 Traditional Orchards: restoration and management of mature and neglected trees
• TIN019 Traditional Orchards: fruit tree health
• TIN020 Traditional Orchards: orchards and wildlife
• TIN021 Traditional Orchards: glossary
