Our Family Orchard (6000+ trees) is located in temperature zone 3 (cold). We grow primarily University of Minnesota "northern" apple varieties. Honeycrisp, Haralson, Honey Gold, Zestar, Sweet 16, and the new Snow Sweet Apples have been our focus, but we also have many other varieties such as Greenings, McIntosh, Cortland, Prestine and many sub-varieties of these apples.

BUT, SEVERAL YEARS AGO WE LEARNED THAT MANY ROOTSTOCKS SOLD AND MARKETED AS WEATHER HARDY ARE NOT!!

We had a cold long winter without any meaningful snow cover. Septic systems froze up, water lines froze and so did SOME of our TREES. About 900 mature (planted in 1984 - 1985) Trees died.

Interestingly we had rows in which every other tree was "DEAD" and the alternating tree had a bumper crop???

The difference was the rootstock.

We now partner with another Orchard in Northern Michigan and have our own trees grown at a nursery in Washington.

We have the nursery put our bud wood on very weather hardy rootstocks. The trees (18,000) are dug up in March (thaws earlier there) and our partner hauls them home. We then plant them when our grown thaws out.

We will have some extra trees, but not a lot of them.

If you would like to buy some let us know ASAP!

CALL: 715-491-6978 (ORCHARD MOBILE), we are extremely busy in the spring (wine, apples, berries, vegetables, livestock) we tend not to have spare time to check e-mails,

TREES AVAILABLE - everything is sold out! 7/16 - 1/2" diameter

Honeycrisp Apples: (Minnesota's State Fruit) ripens over a long period of time, early to late September. Crunchy, juicy, sweet / tart. In addition to being an "outstanding" eating apple, We use these for wine, cider, pies, caramel apples & baking. Honeycrisp cider mixes well with Southern Comfort! They store very well!

Haralson: Ripens late Sept. Tart, juicy, great flavor. This our Bakery's #1 choice for making pies! Good for eating, cider, caramel apples. Excellent with Spiced Rum!

Honey Gold: (SOLD OUT) Ripens late in Sept. or early Oct. When allowed to properly ripen it has a sweet "pear like" flavor. Thin skin & soft flesh. Excellent eating apple, makes a tasty pie and cider. Really good with a "smooth" vodka.

Zestar: Ripens a week or 2 before Honeycrisp. We started planting these 12 years ago when they were called Zestas. Very Zesty flavor, similar to honeycrisp.

Sweet 16: (SOLD OUT) Ripens mid - late Sept. Unique licorice flavor if allowed to properly ripen. Excellent eating apple. It is less popular now due to the Honeycrisp.

McIntosh & Cortland: (SOLD OUT) Ripen mid Sept., the Cortland has a firmer skin than the McIntosh. Both are good for eating and excellent for pies and cider.

Snow Sweet: (SOLD OUT) New U of Mn. apple. We just planted these last year. Surprisingly we had to take apples off of the young trees. Supposedly they ripen late in Sept. or early Oct. Similar to Connell Red's or Fireside apples but crisper.
