Display general product information or specific product information using metafields.
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.

Inventory Disclaimer
Every day, we take great care to maintain our inventory and make real-time updates as plants come and go. Because our inventory is constantly changing, and because in-store and online purchases are being made simultaneously, it is possible for a short window to occur when an item is physically sold out, but listed as in-stock on this platform. This is rare, but in the case that it does happen, we will contact you right away and either refund the item or offer an alternative. Thank you for your understanding!
Additionally, we add new plants to the nursery on a weekly, sometimes daily basis. Check back often to see what’s in stock, and click the “Notify me when this item is available” button to get updates when your wish-list items are restocked!

Why’s It Called “Bald” Cypress?
Unlike other conifers, Bald Cypress is NOT an evergreen tree—it’s deciduous! This means the needles will brown and drop in fall, just like your maple or oak tree, lending to the “bald” moniker.
The stringy brown or gray bark is iconic in wetlands across the Southeastern US, often draped with Spanish moss or tillandsias. In your home landscape, cypress will tolerate either a wet or dry location.
Cypress is slow-growing, but trees can exceed 600 years of age and boast rot-resistant heartwood that was once prized for use in caskets, flooring, and boats.
If you have a low spot in your yard, a cypress tree can help to prevent erosion and soak up floodwaters. Cypress are also known to trap pollutants, redoubling their value in the landscape.
Make sure you mark the elevated roots or “knees” of the cypress to avoid mowing or tripping. This specially-designed root system of “pneumatophores” is thought to aerate drowned portions of the root system.
Bald Cypress is native to the Southeastern US and thrives in coastal plains and on riverbanks/swamps. Unsurprisingly, Bald Cypress is the state tree of Louisiana.
Aside from its shade and beauty provisions, Bald Cypress is a valuable native plant that’s well-ingrained in the lives of wild creatures. The uncommon-looking cones are a known food source for wildlife such as turkeys, wood ducks, and squirrels. Cypress trees also provide nesting space for ducks, safe brooding space for catfish, frogs, toads, salamanders, and sirens; the treetops are utilized by fishing birds for lookout posts.
