Fruit Trees

• While the type of tree is listed in alphabetical order, the varieties are listed in approximate order of ripening.
• Where available, we try to stock semi-dwarf trees. Semi-dwarf trees grow 1/2 to 2/3 the size of standard trees. This size of tree bears a good size crop and needs less room to grow.
• All trees are self-fertile unless otherwise noted.

While we try to carry all of the trees below our selection is subject to availability.

ALMOND

Fruit looks like a leathery, flattened, undersized green peach. Harvest almonds when hulls split. You may need to knock them from the tree or pick off the ground. Remove hull, spread nuts in sun for a day or two to dry. Shake nuts and the kernel will rattle inside when adequately dried.

APPLES

Most apples will set adequate fruit on their own, but will set more fruit if pollinated by another variety. Trees need sun for best production.
