We’re always on the lookout for truly exceptional fruit and nut trees. You know, the ones with unforgettable flavor, unusual resilience, or a story that’s been carried through generations. If you have a favorite tree in your yard or on your family’s land, we’d love to hear about it.
Some of the best varieties in Michigan aren’t sold in nurseries at all. They’re tucked into backyards, old farmsteads, and fence rows — trees that have quietly proven themselves year after year. If you’re harvesting from something special, you may be the only person who has it.
Our grafting experts can help preserve and share these rare finds. With just a few scion cuttings, your beloved tree could take root in someone else’s yard, continuing its line and bringing joy to another grower for decades to come.
If you think you might be tending a hidden gem, tell us about it. You might be the steward of a variety worth keeping alive for the next generation of Michigan growers.
