Most Commonly Asked Questions

Do I have to order 25 trees of the same variety in order to qualify the reduced per tree cost?
No, You can mix any combination of tree type (apple, peach, etc.) and type varieties. As long as your total order of trees is greater than 24 you qualify for the reduced per tree pricing.

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 loss of roots due to mechanical harvesting and therefore the tree is too big for the root system to support. By cutting the tree back the tree will be able to be invigorated and will have a stronger growth spurt. Trees planted in the Fall should be pruned in the Spring.
