Spring 2023 INVENTORY



Apples:

- Most will be $37/tree. Some larger trees will be priced a bit higher.

-most of our 2023 stock is on semi dwarfing root stocks which will result in self supporting trees that will be 10-15' tall at maturity


Honey Crisp: Crisp texture, sweet flesh and balanced acidity make this apple a truly unique eating experience. Low susceptibility to apple scab also makes it a good choice for a low spray orchard. Good for eating, cider, sauce and pies.

Macoun: Snappy fresh eating in an early October ripening apple. A regional New England apple that is a favorite of many. Fresh eating and sauce.

Gala: The most widely planted U.S variety. Sweet and crisp apple on a productive and annually bearing tree.

Liberty: Much like a Macintosh but with scab resistance. This is a great choice or a back yard orchard.

Cortland: Tried and true September multipurpose apple. An annual cropping tree that is easy to prune and care for. Cortland also has a slow to brown flesh making it great for slices. Fresh eating, sauce, and baking.

Granny Smith: extra green, extra tart, and extra firm. Early November ripening and stores well.

Aztec Fuji: An original Fuji that is late to ripen around November 1st. Firm, sweet and crisp apple that stores like a rock.

Day Break Fuji: A true sport of the original fuji that ripens early in Mid September. Just like the parent in every other way.

Macintosh: A classic new england variety. Winter hardy and an annual bearer with mid September ripening. This apple has softer flesh with a nice sweet tart flavor, great for everything.

Empire: A cross between Macintosh and Red Delicious. A firm mid sized apple with dark mahogany skin. Excellent flavor and great for fresh eating or sauce. October first ripening and an easy to manage tree.

Idared: An excellent Mid October ripening cider, baking and sauce apple. We recommend this variety highly to our customers because it is very grower friendly: annual producer, good growth habit, and low apple scab susceptibility. A tarter apple that stores well.

Crimson Crisp: Deep red/purple skin with yellow flesh that is very crunchy. Low disease susceptibility and mid Sept ripening makes this a highly recommended variety.

Baldwin: A classic new england heirloom baking apple. Late October ripening with a sweet tart flavor, this apple stores well and the tree tends to be bi-ennial.


(although some are self fertile, most apples need a mate for pollination, a second variety. We recommend at least three varieties in your orchard for adequate pollination)


Peaches:

- Priced at $33/tree


Reliance: Bred right here in NH. The hardiest variety we know of. A mid August ripening yellow flesh freestone.

Saturn: Everyone is talking about them. Doughnut shaped with white flesh and an excellent flavor. A bud hardy tree.

Messina: Mid Sept ripening yellow flesh high quality freestone peach. Dense flesh.

Coralstar: Early Sept ripening yellow flesh freestone that is larger in size.

Red Haven: Ripens about August 20th. The bench mark for all other yellow flesh freestones.

Glenglo: A semi cling yellow flesh peach that ripens August 10th. Good flavor.

Silver Glo: A white fleshed semi cling nectarine that ripens about Aug 10th. Excellent flavor and appearance.

Emeraude: White flesh nectarine with excellent flavor and appearance. Ripens first week of Sept.


(peaches and nectarines are self fertile, no need for a second variety and they are a highly recommended choice for all back yard fruit growers, including first timers because they are very simple to care for)


Pears:

-priced at $37/tree


Yoinashi: Asian pear mid October ripening

Hosui: Asian pear mid Sept ripening

AC Harrow Crisp: Early Sept ripening Bartlet type

Red Bartlett: Early Sept ripening Bartlet type


(for cross pollination we recommend purchasing two trees: one of each Asian type or one of each Bartlet type)


Cherries:

- priced at $42/tree


Balaton: A sweeter sour cherry that ripens the 3rd week in July. A high quality Bavarian tart cherry.

Montmorency: A very tart sour cherry that ripens around July 15th. The most planted tart cherry in the united states.

Burgandy Pearl: Sweet. Dark Mahogany, large size, resistance to cracking and early July ripening make this a great choice.

Regina: Sweet. Dark Mahogany, large size, crack resistance and great flavor that ripens the end of July.

Hedelfingen: Sweet. A smaller sized dark mahogany cherry that is a reliable heavy producer. Good flavor and ripens late July.

Stardust: Sweet. A bi-colored cherry similar to Rainier, ripens the third week of July and is crack resistant.


(Sweet cherries need multiple varieties for adequate pollination and the more the merrier. Designing a sweet cherry orchard with adequate cross pollination can be tricky, you want two varieties at the minimum.

Sour cherries are self fertile, only one tree is necessary)
