Fruit Trees 
| Our fruit trees are grown by Dave Wilson Nursery, known for their premium quality. Not only does Windmill Nursery do the first year pruning of the trees, we also place them in biodegradable pots. If planted before the end of February, you can use the bare root technique of planting, which is to take the tree out of the pot and plant it. Otherwise, we have placed our fuit trees in biodegradable pots, which require some holes or slits cut in them after which you plant the pot and tree together.

This is a list of the trees we are carring this year
