We sell grafted fruit trees in various sizes, ranging from young 3-gallon plants all the way up to 25-gallon and larger, mature trees.
As a general rule of thumb, here’s what you can expect from each size:
3 gallon: Will take an average of 2-3 years before harvesting your first crop. Trees are small and may be just a single stem, or just starting to develop their first branches. Typical height is between 2-4 feet.
7 gallon: Will take an average of 1–2 years to produce a crop. Branching structure has started to develop, and trunks are between ½ to 1 inch thick. Typical height is between 3-6 feet.
15 gallon: You can usually expect fruit within a year of planting, and some trees are already fruiting at this size. Branch and canopy structure has taken shape and the tree is starting to grow wider. Trunks are between 1 to 1-½ inches thick. Typical height is 5-8 feet.
25 gallon and larger: These are mature trees, and most are ready to produce fruit or have already produced. They have been pruned and shaped multiple times at this point. Trunks are about 2” thick or larger. Typical height is 6-10 ft.
PLEASE NOTE: These descriptions are generalized - Some species of fruit trees are very quick to produce, and others take longer. For example, mulberry trees can start fruiting at a very young age, even as small as a 3 gallon. Mango, avocado, or sapodilla trees will take longer. Each species grows at a different rate and will take varying lengths of time to establish, and even different cultivars can be more precocious (quick to produce) than others.

Muscadine Grape Vine 'Delicious'
Description
Description
Latin name - Vitis rotundifolia
The Muscadine Grape is a southern special - native to the southeastern US, it grows wild all along the eastern portion of the country. Cultivated varieties make large, sweet and delicious fruit, but eating them is pretty different from eating normal table grapes (a separate species - Vitis vinifera - native to Europe). A Muscadine Grape is larger, rounder, and has a thicker skin. The flavor is nothing short of remarkable! It is comparable to a regular table grape, but has a much richer, sweeter, and more complex flavor, rich with tannins and the perfect balance of sweet and tart. Muscadine Grapes also have small seeds inside the fruit, which can be eaten or spit out.
Why would you grow a Muscadine Grape vine over a traditional table grape? Well for one, Muscadines are immune to Pierce’s disease, a virus which wipes out European grape vines planted in the South. Grapes bought at the grocery store are almost always sprayed heavily and must remain refrigerated, whereas Muscadines can easily be grown organically, with no spraying, and can be kept at room temperature if desired. There are several varieties of Muscadine, but two main types: Purple skinned, and greenish-bronze skinned (the latter are often called Scuppernongs).
Muscadine Grape vines are easy to grow, love full unobstructed sunlight, and are hardy during times of drought. Just be sure to keep them watered while they’re bearing fruit, which ripen in the late summer/early fall season. The vine is deciduous, and will shed its leaves in the winter, going completely bare for a few months before waking up with vigorous growth in spring. Grow yours on a fence, trellis, or arbor, and be amazed by the sweet and delicious clusters of grapes formed the 2nd year after planting!
