Fruit trees
All the fruit trees offered as part of the “A tree for my neighborhood” campaign are 4 years old.
Thus, many will bear fruit very quickly (within 1 to 2 years depending on the species and variety).
Fruit trees are approximately 150 to 200 cm* height depending on the variety.
Important: Some fruit trees are not self-fertile, they need a tree of the same species around.
Check our informations pages to know the fertility of your tree.
Regular trees
