Premium Fruit Trees from TN Nursery – Trusted Since 1959

At TN Nursery, fruit trees are more than products; they continue a legacy of tree production begun in 1959. As a third-generation, family-owned nursery, we have spent over six decades growing, harvesting, and shipping high-quality native and traditional fruit trees to gardeners across America.

Our plants have been trusted by iconic institutions such as the Washington Monument and Arlington National Cemetery, a testament to the care, expertise, and consistency behind every tree we dig and ship.

Why TN Nursery Fruit Trees Stand Out

Fruit trees are investments in your landscape and long-term harvest potential. That’s why TN Nursery grows varieties known for reliability, adaptability, flavor, and strong root systems. Each tree is hand-selected, freshly dug, and shipped bare-root for faster establishment and stronger growth. Our orchard trees are field-grown in rich Tennessee soils, allowing them to develop hardy root systems that thrive in many U.S. climate zones.

Our selection includes customer favorites such as apples, peaches, plums, cherries, pears, mulberries, and more. Whether you are planting a backyard orchard, expanding a homestead, or adding a productive focal point to your landscape, we offer species with proven pollination success, cold-hardiness, and disease resistance. This commitment to quality has enabled TN Nursery to remain a trusted American grower for over 65 years.

FAQ

What are the easiest fruit trees to grow?

Some of the easiest fruit trees to grow—especially for beginners—are those that don’t need a lot of pruning, special pollination partners, or constant pest control. Here are a few great choices:

Apples: Especially hardy varieties like Gala or Honeycrisp thrive in many climates and soil types. They’re low-maintenance once established and produce abundant fruit.

Pears: Pears like Bartlett and Kieffer are resilient, tolerant of poor soil, and less prone to pests than apples.

Peaches: Peaches grow quickly and can produce fruit within a few years. They love full sun and well-drained soil.

Figs: Figs are heat-tolerant, drought-resistant, and thrive even in containers.

Plums: Hardy and self-pollinating, plums are reliable fruiters with minimal fuss.

Persimmons: Easy to grow and highly adaptable, persimmons offer beautiful fall color and sweet fruit.

TN Nursery offers all of these fruit trees ready to plant—fast-growing, low-maintenance, and ideal for home gardeners.

What is the best month to plant fruit trees?

In most regions, March through May is perfect for planting because the soil is warming, and trees have the whole growing season ahead to establish strong roots before winter. However, in warmer southern climates, October through December is often better—cooler weather helps trees settle in without the stress of summer heat.

Planting when the tree is dormant (no leaves or active growth) gives it time to focus on root development rather than foliage, leading to healthier growth the following season.

If you’re buying bare-root trees from TN Nursery, late fall through early spring is ideal—before buds break and while the ground is workable. This timing ensures the best start for long-term success.

How many years does it take a fruit tree to bear fruit?

Most fruit trees take 2 to 5 years to begin bearing fruit, though it varies by species and growing conditions.

Fast producers like peach, fig, and plum trees often bear fruit in as little as 2 to 3 years after planting. Apple and pear trees typically take around 3 to 5 years in age, depending on the variety and whether they’re grown from seed or grafted rootstock. Cherry and persimmon trees may need a bit longer—4 to 6 years—to mature enough for reliable harvests.

Factors like sunlight, soil quality, pruning, and watering also influence fruiting time. Trees need to focus on firm root and branch growth first, then shift their energy to producing blossoms and fruit.

At TN Nursery, our bare-root fruit trees are young but well-established, meaning with proper care, most will reward you with fruit just a few seasons after planting.
