Fruit trees
Warren Pear The Warren pear is sweet and juicy which is why it is a favorite of many backyard gardeners. Warren pears have exceptional keeping qualities. Extremely resistant to fireblight and is cold hardy to -20 degrees Fahrenheit. Medium to large, long-necked fruit with pale green skin, sometimes blushed red. The flesh is smooth (with no grit cells) and the fruit is juicy and buttery with superb flavor. Medium to large, long-necked fruit with pale green skin, sometimes blushed red. Self-fruitful, no pollenizer required.
Autumn Sweet The Autumn Sweet plum is a new variety and it produces larger plums than Italian. The fruit is oval, fully purple colored, firm and very sweet. It is late blooming and will need a pollinator. This plum dries well and has an excellent shelf life.
Bartlett They tend to bear fruit for up to 50 to 75 years on a good site. The fruit is aromatic and is outstanding for fresh eating. Along with its very sweet and juicy flavor for eating, it is widely used for canning and cooking because of its excellent taste. The Bartlett Pear trees are self-pollinating, however a pollinator will help the tree bare better fruit. Bartlett Pears do not ripen properly on the tree, so growers pick the fruit when it is mature but green.
Bing It produces a very large, delicious cherry that ranges in color from a deep garnet to almost black. The skin is smooth and glossy and the flesh firm and sweet. Bing cherries are good for cooking as well as out-of-hand eating. The flesh is very solid, reddish-purple in color, and is flavorful and juicy. The Bing Cherry tree requires cross-pollination to produce fruit.
Braeburn The texture is crisp and firm and juicy. The under color is yellowish green and is shaded by a broadly red-striped color pattern. Braeburn apples are an old-fashioned sweet apple with a smooth and crisp texture. It's great for snacks and salads. It is a late season apple with a long storage life.
Chestnut The Chestnut Crabapple blooms in early to mid-May. Outstanding flavor and good texture for fresh eating as well as being a pollinator. A very hardy plant with a medium storage life. It usually has a partially russeted skin and hangs well on the tree. The fruit quality holds well on the tree, being quite spritely at first and becoming sweeter later on. An excellent pollinator for other fruit apples.
Lapin The Lapin Cherry fruit is large and deep purple in color with lighter red flesh. These are some of the largest, juciest cherries that grow on trees.
Comice The Comice Pear produces a large pear with a very juicy, melting flesh. The Comice is not self-pollinating and requires a pollinator. It is sometimes referred to as the "connoisseur’s" pear.
Cortland The Cortland Apple tree is rated as an excellent dessert and processing apple. It is sweet with a hint of tartness. The Cortland apple is an attractive large red-striped apple that can be best described as juicy.
D Anjou The tree is very hardy, large and highly productive. The D'Anjou does not change color as it ripens. Requires cross pollination with Bartlett or any other pear with the same bloom date.
Damson The dark purple skin covers the golden yellow flesh.
Early Italian It is used as fresh, dried or canned prunes.
Elberta The skin is red blushed over a deep golden yellow color.
Fantasia The early harvest fruit is firm-ripe and tangy, later harvest is sweet, with rich flavor.
