Preorder now for winter 2027 delivery. These bare-root trees are for the upcoming dormant planting season, not immediate fall planting. Check each product page for its available-to-ship date and destination restrictions before ordering. Choose varieties using both your USDA hardiness zone and estimated winter chill, then confirm pollinizer needs and mature size.
Need help choosing trees? Use our Bare Root Orchard Planner to match your growing zone and winter chill, plan pollinizer partners, and estimate planting space.
Explore bare root fruit trees for home gardens, edible landscapes and orchards. Compare apples, pears, cherries, peaches, nectarines, plums, persimmons, jujubes, mulberries, walnuts and interspecific stone-fruit hybrids.
Bare root trees are shipped dormant without a soil-filled container. This makes them lighter to handle and allows gardeners to choose from a broad seasonal selection.
