Our rootstock is propagated via tissue culture, a clonal process that results in true to type, disease-free plants. These trees have been grown in ellepots to promote healthy root development.

Planting & Care

These trees are grafted to ensure they produce fruits that are true to type, matching the quality, flavor, and characteristics of their parent variety.

Your trees will arrive 30–34” tall. Trees shipped in winter are naturally leafless and dormant, ready to burst back to life with fresh growth in spring.

Ellepots promote healthy, air-pruned root systems and can be planted directly into the ground. If you purchase an Ellepot plant, no need to remove the biodegradable sleeve - it can be planted straight in the ground!

Granny Smith apple trees are partially self-pollinating, and do best when paired with other pollinator apple trees (such as Gala or Golden Delicious). See "Recommended Pollinators" for pollinators we carry.
