I can't remember if I ordered from them many years ago. Those all-purpose TN nurseries generally aren't the best place to go for fruit trees unless you're really on a tight budget. You do get what you pay for.

I notice they don't list their rootstocks and their varietal descriptions are pretty inaccurate. Baldwin apple an early yellow? That's just one of a few mistakes I noticed at quick glance.

I'd start with Adams County Nursery although there are several other smaller operations near you that might be as good or better for your purposes. Virginia Vintage Apples comes to mind.

Thanks! I'm not going to order from there

I tried calling Virginia Vintage Apples last Fall to see about acquiring a Wickson Crab. They never returned my call so I emailed them with the same outcome. They started getting negative reviews on the Garden Watchdog last Fall. Then the page to review them disappeared. Every time I have inquired about this happening in the past it was because the Company had requested it be removed.

Not usually a good sign.

TIM, I met the VVA owners at a couple of NAFEX meetings and they seemed honest and dedicated. It seems like I've read positive things about them on this site so I can only hope your experience isn't a sign that they are in trouble.

VVA is about 10 miles from me and I've met various members of the Shelton family that run the business a number of times. They are definitely both still in business, as well as very honest and dedicated folks. If anything, I'd guess that they are trying to do so many things at once, including their new cider operation, that they accidentally let a phone call and email slip. There isn't a "call-center" at VVA; just members of the family who answer the phone when they aren't doing 100 other things. They are normally extremely busy in the Fall with harvesting, their festival, and fall tourists.

thisisme, I'd be annoyed as well if a company failed to answer both an email and a call, but I'd recommend giving them another shot. Try giving them a call now when things are a bit slower for them. Fyi, most of the 2-year trees I've gotten from them are about 1/2" and may or may not be feathered, so I'd speak with them about your desired size, since I know that is important to you.
