Can we introduce ourselves? We’re Dan and Henry Neuteboom, based in Braiseworth, Suffolk. We’re experts in all aspects of fruit tree care, above all, Real English Fruit.

Whether you’ve got a large orchard, or just a few trees, we’d love to help you get more out of them. We can advise on how to revive old trees, how to plan and plant new trees, how to make an espalier, and how to handle common problems for optimum fruit tree care. And we’re passionate about preserving our English fruit varieties, without poisoning the earth.

If you are in East Anglia, we can visit you at your address to prune your trees, restructure and renovate old trees, provide advice on planting new trees, or grafting older trees for new varieties.

We can provide consultancy in person, by phone or by email. Not sure if we can help? Drop us a line at enquiries@realenglishfruit.co.uk

Garden fruit tree care update

28 May 2025 – How to espalier trees

How to make an espalier, well balanced and suitable for training along a brick wall, depends on the type of fruit – apple, pear, cherry, apricot or fig – to be planted.

We can provide our assistance by e-mail, or better still, via a visit to the site.

Send us (enquiries@realenglishfruit.co.uk) a picture of the site, the wall, and the type of fruit that you would like to plant.

We will respond with a quote after having assessed your requirements.

If your espalier tree has already been planted, but it is not performing well, we can help.
