About enterprise
Heritage Fruit Trees, Company
Heritage Fruit Trees is run by Rob Pelletier from Glenview Park Farm, near Beaufort in Victoria.
The property has included a nursery for at least two decades, first growing perennials for the nursery trade and then local provenance native plants for revegetation projects. It is now used to produce over 400 varieties of fruit trees, mainly heritage varieties and some modern cultivars.
As well as quite a large mob of kangaroos, the farm includes a stud flock of Wiltshire Horn sheep, and alpacas that are bred as stock guards and pets.
Well known to gardeners for his broadcasts on Melbourne radio over 25 years and nearly 10 years presenting garden segments on Bert Newton’s Good Morning Australia, Rob has been passionate about the environment since well before it was fashionable.
