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.
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!
Taller trees will be cut down to 34” prior to shipping. Trees shipped in winter are dormant and leafless, and naturally awaken in spring.
