Q: Is this bare root

Asked by: Farrah - 1/19/2021

A: Yes - all our peaches, plums, apples, and apricots come in as bare root trees in January. This is the best time of the year to plant deciduous trees because they are the most dormant at this time and have less transplant shock.

Q: What size is the Desert Gold peach at maturity. I would like to know the maturity size of several of your trees and I can't find that information on your website. Am I missing something?

Asked by: Ronnie - 8/3/2022

A: It depends on how you prune it.The one in my front yard I kept pruned at about 10 feet. You could keep it shorter or let it grow taller. Same for all of our trees. We teach all about how to do this in our classes that will be happening this fall. Greg

Q: When are the fruit trees available? I am in Rimrock and wondering when is the best time to plant? Appreciate all the wonderful information that you share to help so many of us. Thank you!

Asked by: kayse williams - 5/22/2021

A: Thank you for your supportive comments. Our peaches are deciduous and come bare-root and are available while "sleeping" in January. We will announce which dates specifically in Early January once we have the trees in our possession.
