Fruit Trees
Growing your own food should be as rewarding as the harvest itself. At Roots to Fruits Nursery, we provide everything from Mini-Dwarf varieties for patio gardening to Standard trees for the big back forty. We take pride in our grading system, offering Petite and Maiden trees for those who love to shape their own growth, or Field Ready and Hand Select specimens for aspiring and seasoned orchardists who want to see fruit on the branch in just a year or two. Whether you're after a classic Honeycrisp or a cold-hardy Toka Plum our trees are grown to thrive in your landscape.
Our Tree Sizes at Maturity: Mini-Dwarf (3-6'), and Dwarf (6-10'), which don't require as much space as well as the larger Semi-Dwarf (12-18') and the largest, Standard/Seedling (20'+).
A few helpful notes:
- Trees must be planted in well drained soil. Consider testing your soil to see the best compatibility of trees for your site.
- 6 hours of sunlight with full sun preferred.
- Stake all trees for the first 2 years.
- Dwarfs must have permanent stakes. Be sure to check the ties as the tree grows so as not to girth it.
- Tree guards and protection should be used to protect from rabbits and deer.
- Check pollinator requirements (other fruit trees) for your trees of choice.
- Plant disease resistant trees for less maintenance.

Petite: Our smallest graded tree less than 2 years in age, branchless and will bear fruit in 4-5 years.
