Create your own fruit garden

Imagine waking up to a variety of fruits right outside your back door. How about enjoying a peaceful moment in a beautiful backyard seating area where you can enjoy the many colors and fragrances? When we create our own fruit garden, we can enjoy picking the sweetest fruits in our yard, and all that comes with it! As a bonus, we can grow fruit the way we want to - with nothing suspicious!

We want to get fruit trees while they are blooming so they can start fruiting immediately. At Moon Valley Nurseries, all fruit trees are grown for our local climate, and we have them for sale at fruit producing age so that you can enjoy the sight, scent, and taste of peaches, apricots, plums and so much more right now. In fact, this is the best time of the year to start planting a fruit garden!

 

Planning For A Fruit Garden?

We do not need to have a large yard to enjoy the many rewards of a fruit garden. We can grow fruit trees in a small space and enjoy a healthy dessert of freshly picked fruits! Fruit trees are excellent landscape trees too. We can use them to block unwanted views, and when they are flowering, we can enjoy the intoxicating scent that fills the air. Visit your nearest nursery and ask us about our semi-dwarf fruit trees (fruit size is not affected by plant size). Smaller-sized fruit trees are easier to manage; no need to climb a ladder to pick fruit!

Sunlight: Most fruit plants grow best in a location that receives at least 6 hours or more of unobstructed sunlight.

Climate: We live in an area that enables us to grow a wide variety of the sweetest fruits. Yes, we can enjoy stone fruit too thanks to the low-chill varieties that we grow and sell, such as peaches, apricots, and plums.

 

 

Low Chill Fruit Trees

Chill hours are the amount of time the fruit trees have spent below 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Low chill fruit trees, such as stone fruit, as well as nut trees, require a specific number of hours each winter to regulate growth. At Moon Valley Nurseries, we grow the juiciest, tastiest stone fruit anywhere, grown at the perfect number of chill hours.

 

PeachPeach Trees

Eat the sweetest peaches today! We make it easy to add these trees to your garden. We only sell the best varieties meeting the chilling requirement for our area! Right now, we have the best varieties such as May Pride and Florida Prince available at their fruit producing age! Peaches are flavorful and tasty snacks whether eaten whole or for baking. As a bonus, peach trees are also attractive, easy-to-grow landscape trees.

 

 

ApricotApricot Trees

All apricot trees are grown for our climate, and we have low chill fruit tree varieties including Gold Kist and Royal Blenheim apricots! One bite of a ripe apricot reveals golden fruit bursting with luscious flavor! We love to eat them whole or make dried apricots. We make it easy to grow the best-tasting, safe-to-eat fruit in your yard by offering them for sale at fruit producing age!

 

 

PlumPlum Trees

We sell one of the best tasting plum varieties on the planet – the Santa Rosa plum! These low chill fruit trees are easy to grow and can enhance the look of any landscape, with or without fruit! Plum trees are self-fruitful and have a beautiful bouquet of white flowers.

These are smaller trees and a low chill variety that can produce beautiful pinkish-white flowers in early spring. After the flowers, we can enjoy the juicy and delicious nectarine fruits! Add these attractive landscape trees to your garden and enjoy the view. Goldmine, Desert Dawn, and Desert Delight are simply delicious, and also the varieties we carry.
