Backyard Orchard Culture
A great way to make the most of your gardening space is by using the principles of Backyard Orchard Culture. This allows you to grow your own fruit in a smaller area, selecting varieties that will provide you with a successive harvest of fruit over a prolonged period of time.
Tree size is controlled by pruning, but if you are not so inclined, you can choose trees that are smaller by nature, like dwarf, miniature and columnar trees, such as Northpole and Scarlet Sentinel apples. See our articles on Backyard Orchard Culture and High Density Planting for detailed information.
Add a Classic Apple Tree to Your Backyard Orchard!
We have a selection of older apple varieties that includes Cox's Orange Pippin, Ashmead's Kernal, Golden Russet, Hudson's Golden Gem, Sierra Beauty, Spitzenburg and White Winter Pearmain. You won't find these varieties at your local supermarket, but they have withstood the test of time, some having been grown for centuries!
Pluots, Plumcots, Apriums, etc.
Browse through the hundreds of varieties of high quality fruit trees, shrubs and vines we sell online. We ship directly to your home or business. Order online the many unusual and hard-to-find bareroot trees, shrubs, bushes and vines we offer. We ship bareroot throughout the USA or your order can be picked up at our retail location in central California.
Interspecific hybrids are an entirely unique type of fruit. They are complex hybrids of plums, apricots, peaches, cherries and nectarines in varying combinations and proportions that are not genetically engineered in any way. Of the plum/apricot crosses, Pluots and Plumcots have more plum than apricot parentage while Apriums are more apricot than plum. They have higher sugar content than either parent and do not have the tartness so common to plums, making them delightfully sweet. All of these unique interspecific varieties are selected for their rich, intense flavors and are a wonderful addition to any orchard. See New Fruit Trees and Berries under the About Ordering tab for more information about new varieties.
If both plums and apricots do well in your area, so will Pluots, Plumcots and Apriums. If you are not sure, check with your local nursery or agricultural department.
Grow Nut Trees at Home
We carry many varieties of top quality bare root nut trees that you can plant at home, making it easy for you to produce your own nuts.
Excellent bare root nut trees choices for the home orchard are Garden Prince and All-In-One almond trees. The nuts they produce are thin-shelled and great tasting. Both trees are self-fruitful and of small size - important if your space is limited. If space is not a factor, pecans and most walnuts are also self-fruitful, but they do get much larger (sixty to seventy feet).
Planting and Growing Fruit Trees
Fruit trees are easy to grow with a little effort and home grown fruit is so delicious and tastier than anything from the grocery store. Experience the wonderful flavors to be found in the many unique varieties of fruit trees we sell bareroot. Planting a fruit tree is easy and the results rewarding. Just follow our guidelines!
Growing Berries in Your Backyard
Homegrown berries have great flavor and you can pick them at the peak of ripeness for maximum enjoyment.
Rising costs on all fronts mean that a lot of us are staying closer to home and producing your own delicious, healthy fruit certainly makes sense. Treat your family to home grown berries! You can enjoy your bounty year round by freezing, drying or canning. We offer an excellent selection of berries, including many that you won't find in your local grocery store such as Goji berries. Every bare root berry and vine we ship comes with directions for planting and growing.
