Ashmeads Kernel
The fruit explodes with a champagne-sherbet juice infused with a sugary and sharp character.
Calville Blanc
The flesh is tender, sweet, spicy, flavorful, with a banana-like aroma more vitamin C than an orange.
Cox Orange Pippin
The apple is firm, crisp, very juicy, richly aromatic and some say almost spicy.
Lamb Abbey Pearmain
"splattering tropical zinger, combines banana, bubble gum and pineapple to make a crunchy complex experience." Scott Farm Orchard
Orleans Reinette
The fruit has a rich golden flesh, admirable balance of acidity and sweetness, a russet nuttiness finished with a juicy, creamy, fine textured white flesh.
White Pearmain
The sweet and pleasantly aromatic flesh is firm, fine-grained and crisp; an excellent dessert apple with pear undertones when left to mellow in storage.

Size of tree
Our trees range in height from 4-8 ft. in our field and trimmed to 4 to 5 ft. when shipped. Our young two year trees are most often feathered (side limbs). The trees diameter (caliper) is often 1/2 to 3/4 inch; *As noted by University of California Scientists and other qualified professionals the most successful trees often have caliper from 1/2" to 5/8" and usually establish faster than smaller and larger planting stock. .
Pruning tip
Basic idea for Pruning: Most fruit trees should be pruned in frost-free periods mid to late winter. (apricots best after bud break) Remove most vertical branches and shorten side branches. Fruiting wood is best on horizontal to 45 degree limbs. Learn more...
Shipping information
Shipping Note: Our fruit trees and berries are delivered to you bareroot during their winter dormancy from January through May depending on USDA zone. Trees are shipped with your invoice and helpful planting directions. There is no minimum quantity required but shipping rate for an individual tree is expensive since UPS/Fed Ex charge a dimensional weight and an additional handling fee to ship a tree. You'll find it's cost effective to consider a handful of trees,vines or our helpful Tree Starter Kits.
