" The Magnum Bonum apple tree was commonly found in southern nurseries up until the 1930’s. The Magnum Bonum apples were originally raised by Squire Kinney, in North Carolina. According to apple historian, Lee Calhoun, few southern apples have received more praise in the past than Magnum Bonum apples. The fruit is medium-size, red over yellow. Tender, juicy, aromatic white flesh inside beautiful red/yellow skin. An early bearer widely adapted for the south. Excellent dessert apple and a good keeper.

Shipping alone for 2 trees from TOA is $73 UPS. I did not order.

@jerryrva

I dont blame you the shipping prices have really went up. Inflation has turned $5 - $25 fruit trees into 5 times the old prices.

The price of fruit trees is too expensive

Fruit trees have became very expensive to a point of it being unsustainable this year. We can expect the price to drop from here in my opinion. I believe pear trees will not be purchased for $160 each.

I went to send a small package(under 3lbs) to SD and the usps wanted $40 to send both ways. Said they did away with first class mail now. UPS and FedEx wanted almost $50. Needless to say I didn’t send my package. I guess they have to compensate for all the workers/thieves they have to hire now and bidenomics.
