2012 Spring tree sale
We have some exciting varieties this year for our Spring tree sale; Winecrisp, Zestar!, Early Fuji, Ida Red, Golden Delicious and Honeycrisp apples, the impossible to get Bubblegum plum, Red Haven peach, Canadian Harmony Peach, Chinese apricot, Montmorency cherry and the delicious Ranier sweet cherry. Download the complete 2012 Spring tree sale catalog.
This year for our Spring tree sale, we added persimmon trees, sycamore trees and larger highbush cranberry trees, additional nut trees, as well as large oak and river birch trees (4-5 ft); for landscaping and habitat purposes. Almost all of this year’s trees are MUCH LARGER than in previous years. The most commonly heard comment has been that deer and nature take a toll on the smaller seedlings, so now you have BIG 2-3 foot plants to choose from.
