Fruit tree varieties, apples

Locally Grown apple trees, 3000 in stock

20 years of growing organic fruit-nursery and tastings from our 8-acre farm.

Providing small affordable apple trees


We produce trees on 4 different rootstock sizes, ultimately 3 feet to 30 feet.

FEBRUARY 15, ‘keeping’ apples

We have 500 different apples trees available for various tastes. TART to VERY SWEET. Dessert, Cider, dried, pie, sauce, jelly, pickling, stock (feeding cows & pigs), fresh summer (mush in 3 days) to keepers (crisp, juicy 4-8 months later).

A bridge to understanding apples

We ship dormant (November-April) and hardened-off-in-leaf (July-October). In-leaf are somewhat more challenging if you suffer hot/dry windy conditions where white sheets and shade give sufficient cover. May/June are soft and tender (fragile) months here.
