Today in the orchard
Trees and scionwood for sale!
Now the orchards and nursery have been put to bed for the winter, we’ve been assembling a list of available trees for digging this spring and available scionwood for cutting this winter. We’ll be offering about thirty different grafted apple tree cultivars, about a hundred seedlings, as well as about 200 different cultivars of scionwood. We plan to post the lists by early January along with prices and instructions.
Please pass along this email to others who might be interested.
Thanks, John (Bunk) and Cammy
Grafted trees:
The grafted trees are mostly unusual selections that have intrigued us in some way or another. We specialize in weird apples, often only suitable for cooking, cider or the true apple adventurer. All are either already on trial in one of our orchards or are destined to be there this coming spring. We’ll post descriptions of all of them in our varieties list on the website. We may have an assortment of other odds and ends available in the spring after the snow melts and we do a more thorough inventory of our various nursery beds.
Seedling trees:
We’ll have about a hundred seedling trees for sale, all open-pollenated with only the female parent known. They are all “children” of about a dozen of our favorite rare cultivars.
Scionwood:
We don’t offer scionwood of the more common cultivars. You can purchase that from Fedco Trees or several other sources. Most of the scionwood cultivars will have posted descriptions though some will not. It’s a on-going process.
Special orders:
If you are looking for something you don’t see on one of our lists, feel free to write to us and ask. We won’t be listing everything we have. And, we’re in touch with growers throughout the US and may be able to direct you to a good source.
Custom grafting:
We do custom grafting. If interested, write for details.
