"Have your flower and eat it too."

Barkslip's micro-nursery is proud to make available to the public for purchase, a selection of classic apples with a few new varieties this year. Next year I will have a great selection of pears. The trees I sell are grafted and grown without chemical herbicides or pesticides here in West Asheville at Green Hill Urban Farm off of Patton Ave. This year is featuring some of the great cider varieties along with some classic American dessert varieties. It is my mission to bring more fruit variety diversity to our area, as well as, to begin building our own agricultural inter-dependence infrastructure (ie. propagating our own plants).

As such, many of the varieties have never been tried here and we are on a learning curve to see which will thrive in this area for future generations. So break new ground, and try a variety you've never heard of. The worst that can happen is you can keep grafting other varieties you havent heard of, on to it until your tree is loaded with 40 crazy varieties of apples! Just think you could have apples from June until November on one tree! That would be 5 months of fruit on a single tree.

I also offer Permaculture consultations for the farm and urban setting, as well as, fruit tree consultations, care, pruning, and custom grafting. I can transform most ornamental fruit (ie Bradford pear, crab apple, flowering plum) into delicious fruit bearing trees. Plus they will remain attractive ornamentals. You can have your flower, and eat it too!

Here is a list of trees we still have in stock.
