Fruit & Nut Plants
Plant your dream home orchard! Fruit trees & shrubs like apples, plums, pears, blueberries, cherries, and much more thrive in many parts of Vermont. Have you already planted the classics? Try landscaping with unusual fruits like honeyberry, elderberry and nanking cherry.
Many fruit trees and shrubs require a second for pollination. We’re happy to help with recommendations from one of the widest selections of edible fruiting trees and shrubs in the area.
![This is a pineberry. It’s a strawberry 🍓 that tastes like a pineapple 🍍...let’s just say we’ll be making room for more berry patches in our own gardens this year!
.
Perennials Manager @sprinks22 is pumped for this new edible addition. It’s everbearing which means it fruits all summer long 🙌
.
Edible perennials are a wise investment to plant. They feed you (obviously) AND they reliably return each season which ALSO means less tilling in the garden. These include plants like asparagus, rhubarb, lovage, walking onion, strawberry, plus tons of edible herbs 🌿 .
[As we begin growing new-to-us plants we appreciate photographers who publicly share their work.]

![Another new addition to the nursery this season: American Persimmon! Have you ever tried it?
.
Persimmon is quite tannic until very ripe. Once it’s super squishy, this custard-y fruit is tasty eaten fresh, dried, or in baked goods and pies.
.
We will be growing the cultivar ‘Golden Delight’ known for its larger fruit that ripens much earlier, a plus for VT gardeners 👍
.
Tolerant of clay soils and a wonderful addition to the homestead for you and wildlife.
.
ZONE 4, HEIGHT 35-60’, SPREAD 20-35’, SUN/PART SUN
