That’s right I said European ladies and gentlemen, let’s get the ball rolling and keep the soil covered in case any children are watching. Please focus on Nurseries you would recommend to your neighbors and feel welcome to leave a review.

Limbach (great quality and varieties although limited supply)

Stahl (bulk orders, very cheap)

Hernando from Spain (Diospyros Virg. rootstocks)

Ackerbaum (Permaculture focus and good varieties)

Balkep (decent prices, ok quality)

Pflanzmich (wide variety)

Ritthaler

I’m not in Europe, but I like reading descriptions of old fruit varieties on https://www.maiolifruttiantichi.it/. Prices seem very affordable.

A few years ago I could buy a 6 foot peach, apple, cherry, etc for about $12 and now they’re $25 where I live in Italy. I thought it was crazy until I looked at the prices in the US on sites like Stark Bros and I didn’t feel so bad afterwards

I ordered from them a few times. shipping costs were 50 euros to germany.
but that’s not much because they were shipped from italy to germany by truck.

the plants are very cheap compared to here, 25 euros for kakis and they are 4 times larger than if you bought them here.

and they have a large selection of kakis and virginiana, figs, jujubes…
the price and the quality is great.

you just have to wait a bit for them to text you back

@Exmil I assume that figs, citrus, persimmons… are still cheaper in Italy than in Germany and you have a larger selection :smile:

They probably are. I noticed a long time ago when I moved here that a lot of people here have persimmon trees but they never pick the fruit. They basically use it as an ornamental tree and leave the fruit until it rots and falls

what a waste :smiley:

I made a mistake, last I checked they have only one virginiana and the hybrid Nikita’s gift, mine Nikita’s gift is from them

#11

Right now their website says they’re only shipping inside Italy due to damage caused by hail

#12

lucky you live in Italy. :grinning:
I can only say good things about them.

#13

I picked out a cherry and peach I was interested in, tried checkout to see what the total would be and it’s like $5 cheaper than just buying local and the plants locally are older and bigger. One of the plants I picked on their site was only 2 years old

maybe it makes no sense for you to order there.
I don’t know what else you want to order and whether you can buy it locally.

and I am not a seller of https://www.maiolifruttiantichi.it/

i can only say that my experience was very positive, it was very cheap and the plants were big. For Germany it was top.
I ordered from them because they offer a lot of persimmons that I couldn’t find here, but was positively surprised.
What I guess was normal in Italy for persimmons tree, but not here

It’s bad that they only deliver to Italy right now.

praskac has nice sized cheap persimmons I think 5 varieties or virginiana (rosseyanka, nikita’s, SAA piepers, ruby, Prok).

for larger amounts of rootstocks but shipping is pricey

I also ordered from them praskac once. but be careful not to click on an equivalent replacement if the goods are not in stock.

I order also from the Italian page

It was good, but plants more expensive than maioli… and less diversity and the plants were not that big.

But all in all good

Hello all, quite new in the forum, although I have been reading for a long time.

I can recommend Pepinieres Quissac, good quality plants and professional order processing and packaging.

Some sources of trees/scionwood:

https://shop.baumschuleritthaler.de/shop/edelreiser/784020.html
(more than 800 varieties of apple, cherries, plums, pears, etc)

https://www.obstreisergarten.de/cms/index.php?id=8
(more than 500 varieties, mostly apples, pears, cherries, some nashis)

I have ordered from these two above, good scions, more generous than described.

From the following I have not ordered yet, so cannot comment, but look interesting:

some rare apple and pear varieties, many from Russia

Pawpaw and diospyros hybrids

Fruit trees, quite large mulberry selection

This one non-EU, from Turkey
