Collection: Choose Bare Root Fruit Trees for Your Garden
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.
Choose the Right Tree
-
Climate: Match USDA growing zone and chill-hour requirements to your location.
-
Pollination: Confirm whether the variety is self-fruitful or needs a compatible tree with overlapping bloom.
-
Space: Review rootstock, mature size and recommended spacing.
-
Harvest: Compare fruit use and ripening period to plan the season you want.
