Grafted Apple Trees

Contact me, I will produce a PayPal invoice Gil@skipleyfarm.com, 206-679-6576

This list is a work in progress, has all fruits grown on the farm including new accessions. Tabs: Apple, Pear and Quince, Stone Fruit, Berries and Grapes, Ornamentals, and our field and pot inventories and new plans as well-sorry these may confuse you.

Excel file list -link

Notes for excel file:

Mostly use ‘BG2021’ sheet for 1 year trees available and ‘Apple scionwood’ sheet or tab for older trees and scionwood.

Top lines: Column description with colors are tag colors and are for different rootstock- used for tracking in the field, and what your tree is sent with and they come with rootstock description. Smallest to largest rootstock types, repeated at column ‘AA’ with newer (to me) rootstock G11 to P18 and on to double grafts (interstem) beginning with 106/M27

Column ‘A'(yellow): Refers to estimated collectable scionwood quantity… where NA is not available yet. Numbers under 5 should always have backup of alternates and are limited to 1 per person/order – I do my best to spread genetic material around. This column count changes weekly (date at top) during winter/spring, so keep tabs. And if you want to start a commercial-size planting please inquiry during summer!

Column ‘K’: Available trees! starred trees are Not For Sale. And-if I only have 2 trees in column ‘K’ they are not for sale.

Column ‘M’: These are grafted 2021 and can be found on the next sheet, they too are for sale and as of August ’22 are 2’+ tall

Column ‘L’: 2022 grafts

Varieties are linked(Work in progress) to Pomiferous or Orange Pippin

4 types of trees are sold:

1. Bench Grafts & 1 year trees: most preferred, lowest cost to produce and ship, with newly made ‘whip & tongue’ grafts, sold bareroot and shipped March to May, (June for colder regions), $15.75 for one to 19 trees. These are somewhat fragile but we have excellent response. You may want sturdier ‘1-Year Trees’ where I grow these on for the season adding about $5 and ship October-May. Shipping/handling these trees is $15 plus 20% of total.

2. Two year old: trees (whips), typically a few feet but sometimes just a few inches of growth, side branches reduced or not existent and priced accordingly. Shipping is ideally Springtime and $20 +20% of total. 2024 I have about 1000 trees (grafted spring 2022)

2 year apple trees.

3. 3 year old trees: usually 3 to 4 feet and 3 or year old, $34-$50 priced by quality and quantity. I will send photos. Shipping is $25 + 20% of order. In 2024 I have about 1500 3 year old trees (grafted Spring 2021).

4. Mature 4-10 year old: Dormant dug, farm pickup only, $50-$800. Ask for availability. I will send photos.

Apple Trees are always available as Bench Grafts  ‘whip and tongue’ or ‘side’ grafted performed annually from February through May or Budding in July-August. These are custom made per your order with requested rootstock type. Allow at least a few weeks lead time or for greater quantities, months or even a year ahead. These are ‘baby trees’, fragile for a month. Shipped per your requested date with best cut-off date Mid-April (but as late as June if weather permits), and again October-April.  After May 1st add $5 for “growing-on” where we pot to hold and grow until your requested date, usually mid-October through April.

1st REVIEW:

(just waiting to post more!)

Hi,

I just wanted to thank you for the trees that I got yesterday- a Roxbury Russet and Wolf River, they were better than I expected. I will definitely recommend you for people that are looking.

3 Comments on “Grafted Apple Trees

  1. I’m not sure how to order a tree from you or if what I want is available. (Sorry- I’m not adept at reading spreadsheets). I’d like to order a Bramley’s Seedling for January planting. I’m in zone 8a in Northern California, but I don’t know if Bramley’s is suited to our climate. Hot summers, winter lows in the 20’s and 30’s .We are in the northern Sierra foothills. I know the tree originated in Lancashire which is more temperate than where I live, but that doesn’t necessarily tell me whether it might thrive here. Any advice?

  2. Would like to plant a Honeycrisp at my house in Granite Falls. Preferable a mature 5-10 year old. Can you offer suggestions? Chris 770-685-5297

  3. Gil, earlier this year I purchased 2 trees from you….I was concerned as they arrived a bit wilted but I wasted no time … It was late in the season and mid-June before I received and planted them. I thought as the temps here in Sacramento rose that the trees would not make it in the heat… I was wrong. The trees are doing exceptionally well. I planted them in full sun with straw surrounding them in 3-4 ft circle on sloping ground with drip on the high side. I do not plan to prune lowest branches until spring. They look healthy and leaves are nice dark green. Thanks for your wonderful apple trees!!! Dave in Sacramento
