Modern Apples
Our apple trees, like many fruit trees, are propagated by bud style grafting. There are 2 parts to an apple tree. A Scion, which is the fruiting part of the tree, determining the variety and flavor profiles; and the Rootstock, the very foundation of the tree with specific characteristics that influence the mature size, cold-hardiness, any disease resistances or susceptibilities and determines the time it takes for the tree to fruit. To learn more about Rootstock characteristics visit this link or reach out to us!
There are two steps to selecting your tree:
-
First think of the MATURE tree size and the ROOTSTOCK you wish to select. The drop down menu on the page of each tree lists the availability of the MATURE tree size with the ROOTSTOCK listed first:
-
Mini-Dwarf (3-6')
-
Dwarf (6-10')
-
Semi-Dwarf (12-18')
-
Standard/Seedling (20'+)
-
-
Then, choose the SHIPPING or PICK-Up tree size most convenient for you:
- Bare Root Petite: Less than 2 years old, 1-3' tall or 3/8" caliper, are branchless, and estimated to bear in 4-5 years.
- Bare Root Maiden: 2 years old, 3-5' tall or 1/2" caliper and will bear fruit in 2-3 years.
- Bare Root Field Ready: 2-3 years old, 5-6' or 5/8" caliper and might have some lateral branching, are thicker above the graft, and will bear in 1-2 years.
-
Bare Root Hand Select: 3 year old trees, 6-9' tall or 3/4" caliper (or based on availability our Grand 1" caliper), can be branched and bear fruit in about a year.
-
Container: Branched, rooted in pots, and often larger trees in size from 5-12'. Available for pick-up at our Gays Mills, WI location and delivery within 200 miles to our noted zones.
