The Putnam County Master Gardeners are conducting a Fruit
Tree Fundraiser during the months of December and January. The public is invited to place their order
for trees from Adams County Nursery, Inc. in PA with a bulk order placed by the
local Master Gardener association.
Pending on the total number of trees that the group orders, typical
savings per tree (when ordering 100 trees or more) are $18/tree for apple and
pear varieties and approximately $17/tree for peach, plum and cherry
trees. Two yeqrs ago, we ordered 150
trees and trees averaged $12 -$15 per tree.
Orders and payments must be received by January 30th.
Price breaks, premium charges, disease resistant varieties, rootstocks
and pollination considerations are located at the company’s website (http://www.acnursery.com/acn_trees.php). A limited number of catalogues are available
at the WVU Putnam County Extension Office.
A donation to the Putnam County Master Gardeners of ($2) per tree, depending on the number of trees ordered, will be
collected for each tree order. To place
an order or for further questions, call the Kari Wilger at 304-767-5583 or
