Grandpa's Favorite Fruit Trees

Grandpa tested hundreds of fruit tree varieties in his lifetime. Some were so bad that Grandma rejected them! If they couldn't pass the "Grandma test", they usually couldn't stay in Grandpa's Orchard™.

Grandpa's Choice™ varieties are the "best of the best" and became his and Grandma's all-time favorites. Grandpa's Nature Friendly™ varieties are proven disease resistant varieties that Grandpa selected for his backyard fruit grower friends, who didn't want to spray pesticides and fungicides as much.

If you can't find these in containers at your local, independent garden center, ask that they carry Grandpa's Orchard™ Premium Brand Fruit Trees. You can also order online and buy all of these, plus many more, in the regular bareroot fruit tree section of Grandpa's Orchard™.
