How To Plant Your Seedlings
It is important to keep the roots moist and the trees undamaged until the seedlings are planted. Seedlings should be planted as soon as possible. Bundled
seedlings can be stored for several days in a cool, shady place if protected from freezing. For more questions about storing seedlings contact the Muskegon
Conservation District.
Plant seedlings with a dibble bar or spade by pressing it into the ground and pulling it towards you. Depth of hole should be large enough to accommodate the
roots of the tree seedling so that the roots are not bent upwards. Place seedling in hole. Insert dibble bar/spade two inches from open hole with seedling. Using the
dibble bar/spade push forward to fill in hole with dirt. Pack soil around seedling with feet. Seedling should be straight and upright. See diagram below.

Pollination Tips
Apple trees require a pollinizer in the area. Planting two different apple varieties will provide for pollination, or a flowering crabapple in your yard
or neighborhood is also a suitable pollinator. All species in this catalog will pollinate each other.
Anjou pears require a different variety of pear nearby. Bartlett can be planted alone, but it can also act as a pollinizer for Anjou.
Seckel pears are not compatible pollinizers for Bartlett pears.
Planting more than one self-fertile tree will allow for higher yields.

Blackberry, Ebony King- $5/plant: Produces large delicious purple berries that are great for fresh eating and baking. Produces fruit in second year in mid-July.
Fig, Chicago Hardy- $11/plant: Known for being especially cold hardy and producing small brown to purple figs. It is productive and easy to go, and
