Order Our Bare Root Trees For Spring Delivery
We're excited to share our updated website featuring all of the bare root stock we have packed away in our root cellar waiting for the spring shipping season. We've added a wide range of fruit trees and berry bushes, such as plums, pears, apples, cherries, haskaps, currants, gooseberries, mulberries, buartnut, bur oak, hazel, along with many other native trees and perennials.
We ship trees inside Canada and our seeds ship worldwide. If you make an order with both, we'll ship your seeds right away and then ship your trees on the spring date you select.
If you have any questions about ordering our trees or seeds please feel free to contact us.
A Small Nursery Startup on the Canadian Prairies
Oak Summit Nursery was founded in 2020 after years of interest in permaculture, grafting fruit trees and gardening. Gardening in our climate is tough, we only get a few months in the summer for vegetables and then you start over, but a fruit tree continues to grow and improve every year. After finally starting an orchard, which began to grow into a food forest, I soon made a goal to collect one of everything that can possibly grow here. Located in southern Manitoba, Canada in USDA zone 3 our nursery is nestled into an Aspen and Bur Oak forest on our 50 acre property. Growing trees takes some time and patience. What started in a few raised beds is about half an acre this year of beds full with tree seedlings and rooted cuttings. In our greenhouse we propagate many woody plant using softwood mist propagation, and in our beds we grow trees from locally collected seeds, hardwood cuttings, and by stooling/layering. This year our main feature is finally our grafted apple trees, which are a few years in the making. Our first collection of cultivar apples are some of the best cold hardy varieties, and maybe you haven't heard of them because you won't find them on the grocery store shelves. We have limited stock for this winter, sometimes just a few trees for one variety - so we're taking orders over the winter and we'll ship your trees any time from mid april to early may, right after the ground has thawed and the trees are still dormant, the perfect time for planting.
