Both of our whitetail orchards in one box: eight full-size trees with fruit from August into late fall. The early season orchard (Centennial, Trailman, Krazulya and Larinskaya) plus the late season orchard (two Kerr, Haralson and Frostbite).

What you get	8 trees: 2 Kerr Applecrab, 1 Haralson Apple, 1 Frostbite Apple, 1 Centennial Applecrab, 1 Trailman Applecrab (all on Dolgo or Spy 227 full size), plus 1 Krazulya and 1 Larinskaya Pear (Ussurian full size). 3-7 ft. trees, pruned to 5 ft. for shipping. Bare root, shipped or picked up in Missoula in spring 2027, roots wrapped in moist sawdust. Guaranteed to bud out.
Hardy to	Zone 2b (winters to about -45°F). Check your spot with our cold hardiness calculator.
Fruit timing	Pears and early crabs in August, Centennial and Trailman into early September, Haralson and Frostbite late Sept to mid Oct, and Kerr, which doesn't drop.
Pollination	Every tree has a partner blooming at the same time: the crabs and apples pollenize each other, and the two pears pollenize each other.
Rootstock	Full size only. No dwarfs or semi-dwarfs.
Also feeds	Elk, moose and turkeys.

Full-size trees usually take 5 to 6 years to bear. That's the trade for a tree that gets up out of browse reach and lasts for decades.

Protect Them

Deer, elk and moose browse young plants hard, and bucks rub trunks in fall. Cage each tree until it's out of reach: a welded-wire cage about 5 ft. tall and 3 ft. across works for deer. Where elk come through, MSU recommends an 8 ft. fence with a top rail. Trunk tubes alone won't stop rubs. Water with drip the first couple of summers.

Bear country: fruit draws black bears and grizzlies. Plant well away from houses and outbuildings, and use electric fence where bears are around.

Is Planting This Baiting?

Growing plants is habitat work. Rules on fruit or nuts you pick, move or pile up vary by state, so check your state's hunting regs before you hunt over it.

For the full how-to (why these plants work, spacing, protection and timing), read our whitetail deer orchard guide.
