Their prices are SO much lower than everyone else. Perhaps they just sell seedlings?

Since the season is ending in most of the US, and people are starting to think about their future new plantings, I’d like to recommend Countryside Farm and Nurseries. I bought a couple of apple trees (on M7) from them this spring and their customer service was excellent (except for being a little bit late to respond at times, which is understandable being a husband and wife business). Their price was $12/tree, which is unbelievable given how many nurseries have lately been jacking up their prices, they shipped me the trees before I even pay them, and the trees arrived in excellent shape, already pruned knee-high. Needless to say, the trees grew very well during the season. They were originally recommended to me by a friend who owns a big commercial orchard in Pennsylvania.

The website makes it obvious they prefer to cater to small commercial orchards rather than someone desiring one tree.

Bummer. I am a one man farmer not a commercial orchard owner.

Never know until you try…though.

Exactly… that’s how I wanted to respond to your comment. The greatest majority of nurseries cater to big commercial orchards, and rightfully so, as that’s where they are going to make the most profit. However, some will make the small customer feel like he/she is not worth their time, and others will give you very good or excellent customer experience.

You have to ask. You never know what their answer will be.

I don’t see Fast Growing Trees on the list. Any knowledge of them?

They are very very expensive. Not many good varieties from what I’ve seen on their site, but they pay a ton of money to advertise their products to me all over Facebook and Google.

I bought my first two fruit trees from Fast Growing Trees because it was late in the season and they still had a lot of multi grafted varieties I wanted. You will pay a huge premium but they ship fast. Side note someone who lives near me bought from them at the same time. They accidentally switched the shipping labels on our box’s. Fast Growing Trees was able to get UPS to pickup and redeliver both packages the same night. I’d save them for last resort just due to price.

I think they have too many negatives on Garden Watchdog.
