The cost is half of the regular retail price. Please look at the list below, pick what you want and either e-mail or call us. Home

"Apple Trees do need special care in our zone. It's not as 'easy' as planting a shade tree or shrub. I have been growing apple trees for 30 years....talk to me. Thanks,"

Spring 2008 Descriptions - Sizes - Prices
*All current prices are for Apple Trees in containers and for Apple Trees that are Bareroot.
*Apple Trees in containers are available daily at our nursery at Grass Roots in OtterTail, Mn.
Each Apple tree has it's purpose in life, whether for pies, or just eating.. Look closely and fit the trees and your needs.
What are Potted and Bareroot Trees:
*Potted Apple Trees have strong roots that have grown to fill the container. They will experience little stress when you transplant them. You will easily gain two seasons of growth by using potted trees.
*BareRoot Apple Trees do not have any soil around the roots. BareRoot Trees are more inexpensive because we do have to provide, soil, container nor labor. A bareroot tree and a potted tree are the same variety. If you follow the proper planting procedures, you will successfully plant your bareroot tree. The inventory listed below offers you a wide variety of fruit trees that are hardy to our zone.Look at the descriptions, sizes and prices and then either call us or come out to the OtterTail City location pick out your trees.
