Bare root fruit trees - $23
QR Code Link to This Post
I have a small fruit farm and have a large order of bare root apple trees coming in early April. These are 5-6 foot bareroot trees from a national wholesale nursery.
If you are not familiar with bare root trees, these are high quality fruit trees grown in the gound (not pots) for two years. Last fall they were dug up by the nursery and put into cold storage for the winter. Once they are shipped to me they need to be planted before they come out of dormancy.
Here is a youtube video on planting bare root trees. https://youtu.be/qkQBHn1neBM?si=aNsLUEZKDyL3ZVg8
Prices are $23 per tree for all trees except Cherry. The cherry trees are $25. I will give a $2 discount per tree if you order 5 or more trees.
They will need to be picked up in person at my farm north of Tecumseh, MI within 14 days of their arrival. Right now the trees should be ready for pickup about the first week of April.
Message, Text, email or call to place your order and you just pay when you pick up. I always sell out so don’t delay placing your order so you don’t miss out on a variety you want.
