Most Commonly Asked Questions

What kind of tree can I expect to receive from ACN?
Our fruit trees are all 2-year old, bare root trees. Average size of our trees at shipment is 4-6' in height, 1/2-5/8" in caliper/diameter.

Must I cut back my trees when I plant them?
Yes, it is very important to cut back fruit trees when they are planted. When the trees are harvested from the field there is some root loss due to mechanical harvesting and therefore the tree is too big for the root system to support. By cutting the tree back it will be invigorated and will have a stronger growth spurt. Trees planted in the fall should be cut back in the spring.

Do I have to order 25 trees of the same variety in order to qualify the reduced per tree cost
No - as long as the total number of trees on your order is 25 or greater you qualify for the reduced rate/tree pricing. The same applies to the other price breaks as well.
