Ron Joyner of Big Horse Creek Farm posted to his blog today that he and Suzanne are planning to “finally put away our grafting tools and contemplate retirement” next year. They’re really nice people with a great nursery, and they’ll be missed around here.
Dunno if “next year” means at the end of the coming season, or the next, but anyone who’s been thinking of ordering scions or custom-grafted trees from them might want to jump on it this winter/spring.
I have not ordered from OnlineOrchards. For grins I put one tree in the cart to check shipping rates - it was $7.54 via USPS. This is dirt cheap for shipping if you need small quantities. Cannot comment on quality of product. They have peach pears apples cherries etc.
I’ve bought from Edible Acres multiple times and have always been very happy with what they ship. It is a small scale nursery that specializes in cold hardy stuff. They also have a nice, informative, regularly updated youtube channel where they discuss permaculture/organic/self reliance topics.
I received the 2019-2020 Cumberland Valley Nursery price list in the mail yesterday! They told me on the phone though that pretty much everything is gone for this year and that it would probably the end of the year before they could start taking orders again. So this is just an idea of what they will have for 2020-2021. Here is the pdf of it that I scanned in
Just found Mehrabyan nursery online and am considering placing a small order. I don’t find any mention of their nursery on this forum. Any good or negative experiences? Their prices look very reasonable.
Never heard of them, but they have a nice cold hardy apricot section. Really caught my eye until they claimed one of them was brown rot resistant. Nice pear and apple section as well.
I have ordered bare root apple trees from Surik for the past two years. I have been happy with the trees. I have picked them up so I can not speak to how they will arrive if shipped. I suspect you will be happy with your trees. I messed up my order for this Spring and my email was answered promptly and a refund received quickly. I plan on ordering from Mehrabyan Nursery yearly.
I got a AC nursery catalog yesterday. Go on their website and sold out of pretty much everything. Might want to mail those out a tad earlier…like November.
Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, it looks like Cummins are not really interested in dealing with small scion orders - it looks like they’re charging twelve bucks for a single stick, and seven dollars a stick for 2-5. There are definitely better prices out there.
