Heirloom Apples TreesHeirloom Apple Trees are older varieties that have outstanding flavors and textures. Many of these varieties are unequaled in making pies, applesauce, or cider. Modern dwarfing rootstocks allow you to enjoy your favorite old varieties without sacrificing productivity or garden space. We encourage everyone to plant heirloom apples, however, we are no longer able to ship apple trees due to the high cost of shipping and the amount of labor expended in the process. |
