2010 Planting Guide Info

 

So now the 2011 is here and time to plan for future gardens. We would like to thank our loyal customers for a good year once again. It is because of you that we are still around and hope to be around for many years to come. We dont have our normal plants at this time and I have updated the website with our new varieties of 2011! We do not sell the plants through the internet but we have many of the plants at Honeymoon Acres located on Hwy 57 just north of New Holstein.

All Plants are subject to availablity

Apple Trees

These will all be semi dwarf Varieties which mean they will be 12-15’ tall at maturity and 14’ wide. They will start producing 4-5 years after planting. They must be pollinated with another apple tree that blooms and produces fruit around the same time. This pollinator needs to be planted no farther than one acre away as a rule. These are the varieties we will carry
