Linmer Nursery is located in the small country town of Canowindra in the central west of New South Wales. The area is a farming centre located on the Belabula River - a highly fertile valley known for its fat lambs and lucerne and in more recent times for its wine.

The Nursery was established in the early 1970’s by Ron and Betty Harris as a side line to the Dorset Horn Sheep Stud that was the main business, the Nursery was at that time growing Ornamentals for Mount Boyce Nursery owned by Ron’s brothers.

It was on the recommendation of the Agricultural Department that the Nursery started to grow Stone and Pome fruit trees for the industry. Geoff and Susan Harris (the current owners) purchased the Nursery from Ron and Betty in 1987 and have continued to expand the Nursery to its present size.
Linmer Nursery is a member of NGIA (Nursery & Garden Industry Association) and are proud to be a founding member of ANFIC.

The Nursery specialises in one-year springbud trees using a variety of rootstocks. Our stocklines include:

• Peaches
• Plums
• Nectarines
• Apricots
  Apples
  Pears
  Almonds
  Wine Grape Rootlings

All trees are grown in open ground in a volcanic red loam soil.
The Nursery is situated on 2000 acres and is rotated on a constant basis to avoid a build up of soil born diseases.
Where possible, VT rootstock and budwood are used.

Trees are personally delivered by Geoff so as to avoid any mixups in varieties and orders.

Inspections of the Nursery are most welcome by appointment and growers are encouraged to inspect their trees at any time during the growing season.
