Important Shipping Information

• Please note that our shipping season extends from the beginning of January to the first week of March.
• Your order cannot be shipped prior to that because our growers have to wait until the plants are dormant before they can ship to us. Hence, we do not receive our stock until the end of December.
• We do not charge your credit card until right before we ship your order.

Backyard Orchard Culture

What Is Backyard Orchard Culture? Families today have less space for fruit trees, less time to take care of them and less time to process or preserve large crops than in the past. Accordingly, today's family orchards should be planned and managed differently. The objective of Backyard Orchard Culture is the prolonged harvest of tree-ripe fruit from a small space. This means planting close together several or many fruit varieties which ripen at different times and keeping the trees small by summer pruning.
