Open Orchard Project Fundraiser
Heritage Fruit Tree List 2024
Thank you for your support of the Open Orchard project!
Please note
-
We are unable to post these bare-rooted trees: they must be physically picked up by a person in Riverton.
-
As trees are bare-rooted, you will need to make sure you can plant them straight away, or 'heel them in’ in your garden until you're ready to plant, or keep them wet mulched in a shady place..
-
The height of the Southland-grown plants is 1m – 1.2m, the height of the Waimea trees (apricots, nectarines, peaches, pears, plums etc.) is approx. 1.2m - 2.2m – Usually trees will fit diagonally in a vehicle where they can be fed in through the boot.
-
If you have ordered more than 5 Waimea trees and you have a small car you may need to bring a trailer.
-
Pick up during Centre opening hours.
-
You can also pop into Riverton Environment Centre and buy directly.

Demand usually outweighs supply each year, so we have got more of everything for 2024 to satisfy the growing need. Thanks for supporting us.
As everyone will no doubt be aware, costs keep increasing. We have absorbed some of the increases but also have to raise the prices of trees slightly again this year.
