Why eat 150# of apples (1 large apple per day)
The Skipley Farm Fruit Tree Nursery is a small but diverse enterprise situated on 8 acres of land in the lovely county of Snohomish. The land was 98 years in cattle and horses, with deep clays, and clayloam topsoil which is rich in natural organic matter. This is a huge advantage as it means the soil is always moist allowing roots to enjoy optimum growing conditions all year round. As a result, our trees are strong and healthy with well-developed root systems.
The fact that our fruit trees are grafted on site and ‘grown on’ in the open field or pots for 1, 2 or 3 years allows you to create the tree in your shape, style and dwarfness.
Apples are our speciality, and we can offer more than 500 varieties for sale, by far the largest selection of apple trees for sale in the US. We are particularly interested in collecting and conserving those wonderful old, rare and unusual varieties from all over the world that will surely disappear and be lost forever without our help. There are7000-15000 varieties due to every apple seed being different. Its just about applying a name! We grow apples from seed too.
As part of our conservation work we hold back one or more trees of every variety we propagate for our own use. Each tree is then planted in our orchard where it is safe from extinction and also provides cuttings for future grafting. Growing each variety in our orchard provides potential to carry out important research regarding how each tree performs in the our climate and on different rootstock.
Here at the nursery we also specialise in growing varieties with good disease resistance. These varieties are more suitable for organic growing systems as they are less likely to require maintenance spraying although it should be pointed out that even the most resilient varieties are not immune from diseases.
Other fruits we sell include Pears(30+ varieties), Plums(20 different kinds), Gages, Damsons, Quinces(6 diff kinds), Medlars(3 diff kinds), Grapes(25 diff kinds), brambles of all sorts, Kiwi, Fig, Elderberry. We also supply a large selection of soft fruit bushes including Black Currant(6 diff kinds), White and Red Currants, Gooseberries, Jostaberries, Blueberries(15 diff kinds), Strawberries and Aronia.

We love your farm! I brought my twins to pick apples and we learned so much about fruit trees. I am an avid gardener and I run a garden program at our preschool. I want to plant 3 grapes vines. I know I want Reliance and Delight. What would be another grapevine you would recommend that you have in stock in a one-gallon? My friend lives in Lake Stevens and can swing by one afternoon or morning. Thanks!
I’d recommend Einset
Recommend Einset, strawberry overtones
