I love Stark Bros!
I love Stark Bros. They were the first nursery that I ever ordered from. The trees that I have received from them have all grown beautifully. This is my first full summer growing my orchard and it's doing very well!

Thriving little Braeburn
I am grateful that Starks indicate the compatible growing zones for each apple. I live in zone 9, but I have found that apples for zone 8 also do well here. I was having difficulty finding a Braeburn apple tree locally, and so was happy to find one at Stark. My little tree has gotten off to a good start and is thriving.

Good Stock With Healthy Leaves and Healthy Wood
We planted this tree at the end of our drought. It was planted in late May or early June. It is staying straight and strong in our high winds. The leaves and wood look healthy. The tree in shape is so far good.

Great Little Apple Tree
First, this is my all-time favorite apple. I was happy to learn that this variety would grow at our new location. The apple trees arrived in good shape and was able to plant the next day.
I followed the instructions that were included in the box and was rewarded with leaves shortly after. Both trees are thriving and doing well, even with all the hot weather.
I was impressed and very happy with my apple tree!

Early Braeburn progress
I planted these 2 Braeburn trees with a Granny Smith tree between them for optimum pollenization in early October. Most of the leaves have fallen for the Pennsylvania winter but the branches are supple so they will survive hopefully. I also put a heavy wire fence around them to keep the deer away. Hope to see growth in the spring.

Had me fooled, but happy now.
Took this variety a little longer to break dormancy compared to the other I bought. Almost gave up on it. After several weeks it finally broke dormancy and is now thriving.

Loving this tree
Bought in early 2022. Arrived in excellent condition. Grew a little last year, a few new branches. Pruned in January of 2023, and it blossomed in early April. The blossoms all feel off after about a week, but wasnt expecting any fruit to set yet since it's still young. It is growing vigorously and full of new branches. Looking excellent. ????

This variety is not common in stores. I want to grow it so I can enjoy it's delicious taste again.
Haven't been able to find them in stores in years.
