Patience is a virtue...
Fruiting trees and shrubs, including apples, come into bearing between three and five years of age. We are growing up trees as fast as we can, but for now apples are available mainly as first-year whips. See catalogue for the complete selection.

Truly Hardy...North of 60
Ultra-hardy The toughest we know - can survive without protection
Hardy Requires some winter protection Shelter Best grown within a permanent shelter Every plant we grow has to be able to handle a long cold winter following a short summer, so we have developed our own hardiness scale to help our customers select material. Note that all fruit trees will benefit from wrapping with a white tarp or burlap for the winter regardless of hardiness. |
Apples
The Yukon is not apple country. The cultivars we sell are the most reliable of hundreds that have been tested at a few select sites north of sixty over the past thirty years, including our own Klondike Valley. Everyone that plants an apple in the Yukon is a pioneer in their own right, discovering what can be done at their particular site. We look forward to continuing to learn with all of you as the experiment expands...may each year be more fruitful than the last!
