We carry 7 varieties of apple trees; we also have pear, peach, plum and cherry trees. Our varieties are mainly semi-dwarf trees. The biggest advantage of semi-dwarf trees is they begin producing fruit within a year or two from the time they are purchases; whereas standard size varieties may take several years before they produce fruit. The fruit size on semi-dwarf trees are just as large as those grown on standard size trees, but the tree itself grows only half to two thirds the size of standard trees. The small size helps them fit well in a residential situation and the lower branching makes them easier to pick. Many fruit farms also prefer certain varieties of semi-dwarf trees over standard size because they are easier to maintain.
We have had individuals ask about apple trees in the fall to grow apples for the deer, but it is best to purchase earlier in the spring when you can be assured that the trees are more readily available. The trees are available at our Garden Center beginning mid to late April.
