We update our inventory on March 1st for Spring bare root sales and September 1st for Fall bare root sales. If you are visiting this page and see everything as sold out, please make a note in your calendar to revisit at our next ‘opening’ and pick up some lovely plants!
Our Fall offerings tend to have higher numbers of trees, shrubs, cuttings and a medley of our abundant and fall appropriate herbaceous perennials. Spring offerings will generally have more herbaceous perennials, grasses, etc and a smaller number of trees and shrubs. We weight our inventory in large part based on seasonal appropriateness for establishment. We hope you understand and visit again if you don’t find what you are looking for this time.
If you are super eager to get plants now, we now have a Permaculture Nursery page that lists friends of ours with ethical and thoughtful growing practices. We strongly encourage you to check them out and get some awesome plants from them too!
TIP: Use the tags above to help filter our offerings by characteristic (ie. click on ‘fruit’ to find any fruit bearing plants we offer, etc.) As we add more and more it is a helpful way to find a plant to fit your goals…
Siberian Peach
Siberian Peach
Prunus Persica
Often called ‘Siberian C’ peach, these are seedling grown peach trees that have their origins in root stock trees meant for dwarfing and extremely cold hardy peaches. Their great great grandparents had very small fruits that were very hard, but folks put effort into selecting larger fruits but still keeping the smaller form and extreme cold hardiness. They are not large fruited by any means at this point, but the small fruits ripen for us around fall equinox, which is a wonderful treat later fall after all regional peaches are done. They remain somewhat hard but have wonderful and rich flavor. Plus they can be grown from seed and keep expanding! Yay!
We have nice sized plants available, mostly grown in air prune boxes for a season, and also larger 1st season plants graded out from the pack
Size:
Much smaller than standard peach trees, they will top out at 12-15’ at their tallest in most contexts.
Site Preference:
Enjoys full sun and deep rich soil.
Hardiness:
Zone 4-9!!! Some reports that they thrive as cold as zone 3, but we can’t confirm that
