Fruit Trees

New selection of fruit trees available around mid-January to February of each new year and are available while supplies last. Selection varies by store.

We select only the best bareroot fruit tree varieties from Dave Wilson Nursery. And to ensure your success in planting, growing and ultimately harvesting fruit from your bareroot fruit tree, we first trim away any damaged branches ourselves, pot them, in-store, using the best planting mix and the right amount of fertilizer—all to give your fruit tree every advantage prior to you planting it.  The pots we use are biodegradable, so that all you have to do is poke a few holes in the pot at planting time and plant it directly in the ground.

Choose the right tree for your backyard orchard.  Please note, that some varieties may only be available at select locations.       .
