Our Variety Descriptions
|
All trees and plants are bare-rooted
(except where noted), and even a large order can fit into a
station wagon. All fruit and nut trees are well-rooted, 1/4-7/8"
in diameter.
Fruit trees are grafted onto the hardiest standard-sized
rootstocks available, except where noted. Standard trees are
stronger rooted, hardier, and longer lived than dwarf or semi-dwarf
trees. If you want a smaller tree, keep it pruned.
For fruit trees and berries, the exact dates of peak
ripeness will vary from place to place.
The zone hardiness rating will aid you in
determining whether a plant will be hardy for you. The average
minimum temperature in your area determines your zone. See
the chart below. Apple descriptions have minimum and
maximum zones because apples typically need cold climates
to produce the best fruit. Your own soil conditions, micro-climate
and topography will be equally important in determining the
best varieties for you.
Please note pollination requirements for
fruits, nuts and berries. Some plants are self-pollinating,
others require a second plant for pollination, and others
require a plant of a second variety.
We strive to give you accurate information about all the
plants we sell. If you notice inaccuracies, please let us
know. Statements about medicinal uses of plants have not been
evaluated by the FDA, and should not be used for the diagnosis,
treatment, cure or prevention of any ailment. Before using
or ingesting any medicinal plant, consult a healthcare practitioner
familiar with botanical medicine.

Fri and Sat, April 25-26, are reserved for preorder customers.
The public is welcome on Friday and Saturday, May 2-3. Sale
times are 9:00 am-3:00 pm each day. We recommend that preorder
customers come on April 25 or 26, shop at the full Tree Sale
and avoid the crowds. We will send you a pickup reminder and
map in April. |

Surplus |
We will offer surplus for sale at the Tree Sale.
Sometimes we have stock left over after the Tree Sale, but never
after May 15th, when we shut down completely and go home to
plant. |
|
Group orders |
Mail us at one time all the order forms from
your group members with one payment and we will ship all the
orders, packaged individually, to one address. The group total
earns the discount if it qualifies. Use the front of an order
form for a group address and payment cover sheet. We recommend
making a copy of each group member’s order before you
send the batch to us. We are not yet equipped to take group
orders online. |
