(Flying Dragon)
Trifoliate orange - The only member of the citrus family that will grow outdoors this far north. Unlike other citrus, it loses its leaves, leaving its green and twisty branches to grace the landscape in winter. The fruit is sour and seedy but can be used like a lemon. Interesting twisted, dwarfing habit with thorns. Makes a great living fence. Grows to 7' Zones 6-9. Can not ship to CA, FL, or TX.
$11 each.
(Elaeagnus multiflora)
This "cherry elaeagnus" is similar to autumn olive in flavor. The delicious berries are larger and ripen in early summer. They are also good dried when the one seed becomes unnoticeable. The plant is shrubbier than autumn olive and has never been accused of invasiveness. Nitrogen fixer. Zones 5-9.
$18 each.
(amelanchier species)
Relatively trouble free, these plants can take our late frosts. Though it looks a bit like a blueberry, the fruit makes a finer pie as baking brings out the almond flavor of the seeds. Good fresh eating and the birds love them. Zones 4-8.
$15 each.
(mespilus germanica)
We offer the following Italian variety that has done well in our hot and humid climate and produces large, flavorful fruit
(cudrania tricuspidata grafted onto osage orange)
From Central China, these attractive trees have grown to 15' and stayed relatively compact for us. Also known as Che or Chinese mulberry, this tree is a member of the Moraceae family which includes figs and mulberries. Fall ripening fruits are bright, rose-pink when ripe, about the size of a cherry, and taste like watermelon mixed with fig. Pest free. Zone range seems to be 6-9 though we do know people in 5 growing them.
Male and female trees available. Order both to insure pollination. If space is a problem, the CA Rare Fruit Growers website suggests planting them about a foot apart and growing them as one tree - pruning them to 25% male and 75% female.
2-4' $21.00 each.
(asimina triloba)
A native fruit tree growing to 15'. Fruits have a rich custard-like flavor and consistency. Usually an understory tree in the wild, this makes an attractive, large leafed tree in full sun. (It is helpful to give partial shading for the first year.)
We have many years of experience growing pawpaws. Pawpaws have a reputation for transplanting difficulty but we have found that timing, root quality and fertile, well-drained soil make all the difference. Our pawpaws are grown in pots to keep their taproots intact and we are successfully shipping them bareroot. Our special care instructions are included with your order. Order two different varieties for pollination (unless self-fertile). Zones 5-9. We offer a large selection of varieties that have been chosen for superior fruit. Please list substitutes as there are limited numbers of each variety. We will always substitute slightly smaller plants unless otherwise instructed.
All grafted trees 1-2' $25.00 each. KSU Atwood™ & KSU Benson™ - $26 each
Join and help promote North America's largest native edible fruit. Like most members, we are always interested in sharing growing experiences with other pawpaw enthusiasts. Find helpful info at kysu.edu

All pears that we offer are fireblight- resistant varieties and tested in our fireblight prone orchard. Asian pears bloom earlier and will need each other, or possibly Turnbull, to cross-pollinate. Zones 5-8 (and 6-9 for Asians) .
2-4' $15.00 each.
We can custom graft from your scion for $17 a tree.
