How to Choose Fruit Trees
When choosing Fruit Trees, consider your climate zone, available sunlight, container size, and whether the plant needs a pollination partner. Many young fruit trees can be grown in large containers before being planted in the ground.
What to Expect When Your Plant Arrives
Most plants ship as bare-root plants, or nursery starts depending on the variety and season. Mature fruit or flower images are shown for reference so you can understand the plant’s potential.
Fruit Trees faq
What will my fruit tree look like when it arrives?
Your fruit tree will arrive as a dormant bare-root tree. This means it may have no leaves, flowers, or fruit at the time of delivery. The tree is alive but resting, and it will begin to wake up after planting when temperatures and growing conditions are right.
Why does my bare-root fruit tree look dry or dormant?
Bare-root fruit trees are shipped while dormant to reduce transplant stress and make shipping safer. Dormant trees often look like leafless sticks, but healthy buds, flexible stems, and firm roots are signs that the tree is alive.
How should I plant a bare-root fruit tree after delivery?
Unpack the tree as soon as it arrives and keep the roots moist. Soak the roots in water for a few hours before planting, then plant the tree in well-draining soil with the graft union above the soil line. Water deeply after planting.
Do bare-root fruit trees need to be planted right away?
Yes, bare-root trees should be planted as soon as possible after delivery. If you cannot plant immediately, keep the roots moist and store the tree in a cool, shaded place for a short time. Do not let the roots dry out.
When will my bare-root fruit tree start growing leaves?
Most dormant bare-root fruit trees begin to leaf out after planting when the weather warms and the tree breaks dormancy. Timing depends on the variety, your climate, and planting conditions, so it may take several weeks for new growth to appear.
How long will it take for a bare-root fruit tree to produce fruit?
Bare-root fruit trees need time to establish roots and grow before producing fruit. Fruiting time depends on the variety, age, climate, pollination, and care. Young trees usually focus on root and branch growth before producing a reliable harvest.
