Services

Providing small affordable apple trees

---

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

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).

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.
