Pick-up a fruit tree at PLANT's fruitfest

Join Climate Action Fife’s A Fruit Tree for Every Garden in Fife campaign and enjoy the People Learning About Nature in Tayport (PLANT) fruitfest. 

Pick-up a tree to take away and plant at home in your garden. We will have a limited number of trees so please book to avoid disappointment. We will have a mix of apple, plum and pear trees but we cannot guarantee which ones will be available on the day.

Planting a tree in your garden is one of the best ways to cut your garden’s carbon footprint. Plus, you will have free, fresh and delicious fruit in years to come. Fruit trees can live for 50-100 years and will provide habitat for wildlife and a beautiful addition to your garden.

Our staff will be on hand to talk to you about your tree and will make sure you know how to plant it. You can also pick-up a stake, tree-tie and tree guard to protect your new tree. Some trees may also come in pots. Leaflets and guidance on how to plant and care for your tree will also be available.

If you are able to, bring a plastic carrier bag or bin liner to take your tree home in. Autumn is a great time to plant your tree.

This event is a part of PLANT’s annual fruitfest. There will a demonstration of the making of Tayport’s famous apple juice – and a chance to get your hands on pouches of apple juice.

This year, we will also focus on soup making and there will be a competition to see who can come up with the tastiest – and most local – recipe.

We will have jams and preserves there for taking away – as well as home baked bread and cakes. The fruitfest is a free drop-in event.
