Mostly Liberty, Goldrush, Northern spy, a few Cortland, Golden russet, and Smith cider apple mixed in. All on m111 from Cummins, 90% cleft grafts, a few whip and tongue. I'm having a hard time deciding whether to dig them up and sell this fall and spring or give them another year.

Let your customers decide. I’ve sold a few on and after LaborDay but Spring favored by consensus . I’ve met some nice folks delivering, delivering halfway and having people show up to help me dig em and pack em.

beautiful nursery Ben. I've had good luck selling trees in the fall and personally prefer fall planting.

Thank you, I have one planted in my orchard, but was only a second year tree with no scion wood to spare, I should have some for next spring grafting.

Thank you, I figured I could dig them up as people want them. Do I need to wait untill completely dormant to dig up? I was planning on trying to sell some mid fall between now and rifle season, I would think they should be dormant by then.
