We specialise in fruit tree care
Welcome to the Fruit Tree Folk, your expert partner in nurturing healthy fruit trees.
We prune existing trees, diagnose and manage tree health issues, advise on new trees and transplants, and provide consultations and workshops for tree owners, community gardens and garden care professionals.
Whether you are new to fruit trees, have fruit trees but no time, or a seasoned gardener who “just says no” to ladders, contact our qualified consulting arborist for personalised care and expert advice.
People accessing services under NDIS or My Aged Care packages are welcome.
Where are you?
We live, work and love on unceeded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people AKA the northern suburbs of Melbourne VIC.
But Christy loves an adventure and will travel to Zone 2 and beyond if you don’t mind adding some extra juice to the ute or shouting him an economy class airplane meal.
Call us on 0425 7227 63 for tailored care for your fruit tree.
Citrus time in Melbourne is winter time. Winter time is now.

10am and struggling to get to bed. A ringtail possum on the apple tree at Span community house, the local gardeners call them 'old mate', due to their longevity and desire to live by their own rules, we suspect.
