Do you customize the "orchard in a box"? I'm in zone 9 (Central Ca.) and looking for a variety of 15 trees (dwarf).
shawn l.

Unfortunately, we don't offer a customizing option at this time. Your zone is a little tricky because most fruit trees (except citrus, olive and avocado) won't do well there. Most fruit trees require a certain number of days/hours below a certain temperature (chill hours) in order to go dormant and restart its production cycle. The tree will survive in your zone, but will not produce much, if any, fruit.

I see the cold-hardy fruit tree package contains 6 plants. While the 2 plum varieties and 2 peach varieties are considered good cross-pollinators, the choice of 2 apple varieties are not listed in your web-site as a good pollination match. Wouldn't you want to change one of the offered apple varieties to one that is a good cross-pollinator match for the other? Txs!
DONALD F

The apple trees included in this fruit tree assortment are great pollinators for one another. The website simply does not currently display the extensive list of compatible cross-pollinating varieties (there are a lot!). Don't forget, Orchards-in-a-Box at their core are specifically assembled to cover pollination needs.

how tall is a full grown dwarf ?
Dan M

Should be 8 - 10 foot tall. My dwarf plum is only starting in its third year, and yet it is already 8 foot tall (before this next winter pruning).

What types of fruit trees are usually found in this collection?

Thank you for your question. This coming fall, the collection will include four trees: Honeycrisp™, ‘Co-op 31’ WineCrisp™, CandyCrisp® and KinderKrisp. Right now, the collection is not available.

We hope to have this item back in stock soon. Supplies are limited so make sure you don't miss out next time by requesting an availability email above and having us automatically notify you when it becomes available again.

Ordered coldhardy and dwarf fruit tree orchard in a box
I can't remember which trees were in which packages, but ordered both the coldhardy and dwarf fruit tree packages. The plums and peaches are thriving and have doubled in size in only 2 years. The apples seem to be susceptible to disease and pests. I was not vigilant in spraying the first year, so they were sick and slow to take off. Now that I am spraying them like crazy, they are healthy and doing well. The cherries are dying/dead, even after replacement (btw thank you for standing behind your warranty). The ph, watering and fertilizer are all good; drainage ok as orchard is on a decently sloped hillside, but soil in NY high in clay and even with mixing of peat, compost and garden soil, the cherries are just too sensitive to the compaction I think. Am replacing them this year with more apples.

Great way to get started
These trees arrived on time and in good shape. It has been 1 year since planting and 4 of the trees already have fruit on them. The apple trees took off with vigor and look very healthy.

Intrepid little devils
I have to say that I really didn't think these trees would make it. They are planted at 6500' elevation, in crappy clay soil, in a place where the wind never dies down and they are on the constant lookout for hail, bunnies, deer and other rodents. After 1.5 years, only one -- the Blushing Star Peach -- has not come back. It's early May and they are just now starting to bud out--there are a couple of blooms on one of the plum trees! I'll continue to baby them and hope they make it.

Great Trees for the harsh MN winters!
Bought this package of trees 2 years ago this summer. They have been great trees that took root right away and have survived the cold Minnesota winters with no protection.
The only reason I did not give them a five star is because I have yet to see any fruit on them. Maybe I am just a horrible hobby tree farmer and I don't know what I am talking about, but I have yet to see any sign of any fruit on them... Makes me wonder...

No growth at all
I wish I had better news, but these trees are still the same size, no fruit, only a flower or two on them in spring. I have amended the soil, sprayed what I should when I should, mulched, watered, but the trees are no taller than when I planted them 3 years ago. We have a tall fence around all 6 trees so the deer can't get to them, but nothing. One tree died completely and I replaced it with another tree from another company and it is doing better than these. Had to replace another peach tree because one never sprouted a leaf, but it isn't growing either. The other peach tree gets 1 or 2 leaves a year on one side and that's it. I'm about to rip these all out and buy elsewhere.

Horrible Purchase!
Bought 6 trees total. Located in central ohio, I planted in the fall and only had 4 barely come back in the spring. Received 2 replacements last year and one of those died this spring. I planted with fertilizer and have kept them watered and the existing trees grow only a handful of leaves and have not grown at all after a year and a half. Extremely dissapointed
