| What varieties does Brandt's Fruit Trees, Inc.® sell? |
| Brandt's Fruit Trees, Inc.® sells cherries, apples, and pears. We also work with outside nurseries to offer our customers a wide variety of peaches, nectarines and plums. |
| What trees will grow in our area? |
| We always suggest you contact your local County Extension Agent or a nursery in your area for information on the growing requirements for your area. Your local library is also a good source for information. |
| What is the best fertilizer and herbicide to use? |
| We do not give recommendations on fertilizers and herbicides. |
| When is the best time to order and when will I get the trees? |
| Order as early as possible because the hottest varieties are sold out fast. We deliver once a year starting in March and finishing the season in May. We use UPS to ship our small orders and common carrier for larger orders. |
| How much does shipping cost? |
| The average UPS is $40.00 ground. There is also a boxing charge which will depend on the size of the order. The minimum charge is $5.00. For large orders we ship common carrier (such as USF Reddaway) and the rate is passed directly to the customer. |
| Do I need pollenizers for my trees? |
| Most apple, pear, and cherry varieties need pollenizers. |
| How many pollenizers do I need? |
| The rule of thumb is at least 10% of the total trees need to be pollenizers. |
| Do you sell to home gardeners? |
| Yes - when stock is available. Cost is $15.00 per tree (plus tax for WA residents) and any applicable shipping and boxing charges. |
| How big are your trees? |
| Our trees are grown on 2 year rootstock with one year tops. They will range in size from 3/8 to 3/4 caliper. |
