Apple Trees
Our apple trees, like many fruit trees, are propagated by grafting. There are two parts to an apple tree. The scion is the fruiting part of the tree, which gives you the variety of the apple, and the rootstock, which influences the mature size and hardiness of the tree, and determines the time it takes for the tree to fruit. We sell Standard, Semi-Dwarf, Dwarf, and Mini-Dwarf trees that do not require a lot of space and yet, will bear large fruit.
A few key notes on successful planting methods:
- Trees must be planted in well-drained soil
- Six hours of sunlight; full sun preferred
- Stake all trees for the first two years
- Dwarfs must have permanent stakes
- Tree guards should be used
- Plant at least two different apple tree varieties for Cross-Pollination
- Plant disease-resistant trees for less maintenance; we are happy to help make any suggestions you might need
We categorize our apple trees into at least five sizes: Petite, Maiden, Field Ready, Hand Select, and Container depending on the size of the tree. The Petite tree is our smallest graded tree less than 2 years in age; Maiden trees are usually 2 years old and are branchless. These are also called whips and will bear in 2-3 years. A Field Ready tree is 2-3 years old and might have some lateral branching, be thicker above the graft, and will bear in 1-2 years. The Hand Select trees are only about 20% of trees we have and are 3 year old trees, 6-9’ tall and can be heavily branched. You can expect fruiting on a Hand Select tree in about a year.
