Our trees are about 4-6′ tall, but most are more than 5′ tall. The caliper/diameter of the trees is about 1/4-3/4″, but most have 1/2″ caliper or higher. Grafted trees are one year old, and summer budded trees (the majority of our trees) are two years old. Our seedlings (American persimmon, pawpaw, mulberry, hazelnut) are one year old and about 16″ -24″ tall.

We ship bareroot trees. The roots are wrapped so they don’t dry out.
