The Fall Red Apple is an exceptionally cold hardy apple tree that will grow a delicious apple right in your own orchard. The apples are best eaten fresh off the tree or can be used in baking and juicing. On average apples measure 7 - 8cm across, have a dark red skin and white flesh. They are crisp and sweet (12.4 °Bx) with a pleasant flavor. We find that the apple has a some what traditional flavour which in the industry is referred to as being “moderately acidic”. As it’s name describes, apples are best harvested later on in the fall. The apples can be stored in your cold room for up to 90 days. The tree shows moderate resistance to fire blight. The tree tends towards alternate bearing.

The Littleleaf Linden is a beautiful, highly ornamental tree that adds appeal to any outdoor space, growing with a strong central leader, dense branching, and a trunk that develops substantial girth over time. As its name suggests, its leaves are smaller than those of other linden species, heart shaped and dark green, and in early summer the tree bursts into bloom with clusters of exceptionally fragrant yellow flowers. These nectar-rich flowers attract hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies, and the species also produces a distinctive leaf-like structure called a bract, which evolved to protect the flowers and the small nutlets that develop and ripen in late summer.

The Parkland Pillar Birch is a beautiful tree that was derived from the Japanese White Birch. The tree grows with a commanding columnar form comprised of very dense dark green leaves.

The Parkland Pillar Birch can be planted as a single accent tree, in a group or as a privacy screen.
