Travis Johnson wrote:I was looking at Fedco today, and they have a lot of apple trees, and as far as I can tell, a Baldwin Apple would be about the best for us. That comes in every size. But they do not state how long the time frame is before they begin to bare fruit in each size. The cost also shocked me; they want $31.50 per tree, which is fine, but calculating in the spacing, I would need around 153 trees, or $4000 when you calculate in taxes and the 20% discount for larger orders. It is an understandable mount, I could plant them today and my Great Grandchildren would be still picking their fruit, but I was thinking they were a dollar or two per tree, not $31.25!
