Picking up your trees: Please pick up your tree pre-orders on April 27th and 28th, 2024 between 10 & 2 on our farm. (For the health of the trees and our team, we won’t be shipping any tree orders this year!) *Please have your tree order handy at pickup, with the name that the order was placed under, order number and email address.
Transporting your trees: Sedans & compact cars may be too small to fit some 2-year-old fruit trees, so bring a larger vehicle if you’re able!
Organic vs non-organic offerings: The gorgeous fruit and nut trees we share come from dear Amish friends here in western New York who are third generation tree growers focusing on regional adaptation, deliciousness and sustainability. Though only a portion of the trees they grow are certified organic, all of their farm is managed with organic practices such as composting, cover cropping and rotation. They do not use herbicides and are fastidious in their attentiveness to pest insects and diseases honoring Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approaches that foster health in trees, humans and the ecosystems we share for generations to come.
Other important Growing Resources are listed when applicable on each variety’s product page. We at Fruition are not experts on the care & culture of many of the varieties offered at our Fruit & Nut Weekends; your own research and inquiry are the key to your success… We invite you to dig in with us!

Asian Pears
Impressively resistant to many fungal diseases, Asian pears are often easier to grow than European pears, especially in short, humid and variable seasons.
Mature Height 15+ Feet | No Staking Required | Self-fertile but more productive with another Asian or European pear nearby
Hosui Standard Asian Pear Tree
Fresh Eating and Baking | August Fruit Harvest | Hardy to Zone 6
A sumptuous dessert Asian pear, Hosui bursts into ivory blooms in spring becoming an abundance of large, round golden brown pears with crisp, juicy flesh so rich and sweet. The beloved ’20th Century’ is one of Hosui’s parents; many people consider both varieties their favorite Asian pears. The leaves of Hosui emerge coppery-bronze in spring and turn brilliant crimson in fall after they ripen their fruit in late August. We love Hosui fresh off the tree and from the fridge for a month after harvest, enjoying them in pies and other baked goods. Though Hosui and all Asian pears are self-pollinating, they will yield larger crops when pollinated with another variety.
Shinseiki Heirloom Standard Asian Pear Tree
Fresh Eating, Baking & Storage | Late August, Early September Fruit Harvest | Hardy to Zone 6
Shinseiki is heavy-bearing and beautiful with delicately sweet and creamy, fine-grained flesh. Also called New Century, Shinseiki is a beloved dessert Asian pear thriving in cold as well as hot seasons and stores up to 5 months in the fridge. Luminous copper foliage in spring bursts into profusions of cream flowers maturing golden yellow pears in August, leaves turning crimson in the autumn cold. Though Shinseiki and all Asian pears are self-pollinating, they will yield larger crops when pollinated with another variety.
20th Century Heirloom Asian Pear Tree
Fresh Eating, Baking & Storage | Late August Fruit Harvest | Hardy to Zone 6
Juicy sweet and deliciously crisp, 20th Century bears abundance earlier than many other varieties and has been one of the most popular Asian pears for well over a century. Originally a seedling fostered by a 13-year-old farm boy in Japan, the delectably disease-resistant fruit came of age at the turn of the century and became immensely popular, inspiring the name. The original tree was designated as a national monument in 1935 only for its historic orchard to be burned in an air raid in 1944. A monument memorializes the tree today in a small playground called 20th Century Park. Though 20th Century and all Asian pears are self-pollinating, they will yield larger crops when pollinated with another variety.
Olympic Standard Asian Pear Tree
Fresh Eating, Baking & Storage | Mid to Late Season Fruit Harvest | Hardy to Zone 5
Olympic is marvelously flavorful as well as massive, each fruit often weighing one pound or more. We love Olympic fresh off the branch as well as baked into pies and cobblers, their crisp butterscotch sweetness holding marvelously up to 6 months in the fridge. Often bearing fruit in their third year, this impressive variety is also fondly known as Korean Giant. Though Olympic and all Asian pears are self-pollinating, they will yield larger crops when pollinated with another variety.
Seedlings – Pawpaws, Figs, & Nuts
Pawpaw Seedling
Hardy to Zone 5 | Mature Ht 25-35 ft | 2 Seedlings Recommended | Asimina triloba
This native tree bears much sought after yellow-green skinned fruit tasting like a banana, pineapple and mango custard. Mature Pawpaw trees will deliver diverse fruit size and flavors, with the random promise of discovering you have the world’s best Pawpaw in your backyard. Lovely as a landscape tree. For good pollination, we recommend planting 2 seedlings close together to form a Pawpaw patch.
Fig Potted Plant
Hardy to Zone 5 | Mature Height 8-20 ft | No Staking Required | Self-pollinating | Ficus carica
Figs in short seasons! Regional adaptation is everything and a little care can surround you with a lot of figs, even here in Zone 5. We’re honored to share cuttings from several cultivars including Longue D’Aout, Ventura and Chicago Hardy.
Northern Hardy Pecan Seedling
Hardy to Zone 5 | Mature Ht 30-50 ft | No Staking Required | Needs 2 seedlings to pollinate | Carya illinoinensis
Regional adaptation makes all the difference! We’re honored to share these resilient, delectable and beautiful Northern Hardy Pecan seedlings with you and with us all, nourishing our communities for generations to come. Our friend Jeff has been growing these seedlings of Kanza and Major strains (among others) in Honeoye, selecting for early vigor, cold hardiness and deliciousness. Each northern hardy pecan seedling is 6 to 12 inches tall.
Chinese Chestnut Seedling
Hardy to Zone 5 | Mature Ht 40-60 ft | No Staking Required | Needs 2 seedlings to pollinate | Castanea mollissima
Renowned for the quality of its nuts, Chinese Chestnuts are fast growing, heavy bearers of “tree urchins” that contain generally larger nuts than the American Chestnut. When mature, the Chinese Chestnut tree is a wider branching tree than the American Chestnut, suitable for shade & for attaching swings. Has shown good general resistance to Chestnut Blight, but resistance level is variable in seedlings. Fruition’s Chinese Chestnuts are 1-2 foot seedlings.
Yamhill Hazelnut Seedlings
Hardy to Zone 5 | Mature Ht 6-10 ft | Needs 2 seedlings to pollinate | Corylus americana
Yamhill hazelnuts are exceptionally abundant as well as early maturing and highly resistant to Eastern Filbert Blight. An excellent pollinizer for other varieties, Yamhill is also more insect-resistant than common hazelnuts. Hardy to Zone 5, our resilient seedlings are 6 to 12 inches tall with strong roots ready to surround you with abundance! Hazels often start producing by year 3 and often offer a gallon of nuts by year 5, growing more abundant for many years.

Delicious! Hardy to Zone 5, Jefferson hazelnut trees are one of the most popular varieties of commercial hazelnut growers. Yamhill and Jefferson Hazelnuts are often planted together for cross-pollination, since Jefferson needs another variety to pollinate and produce their large nuts with prodigious yields. Our resilient seedlings are 6 to 12 inches tall with strong roots ready to surround you with abundance! Hazels often start producing by year 3 and often offer a gallon of nuts by year 5, growing more abundant for many years.

Crimson Gold is fondly known as ‘Svatava,’ named for the river flowing between Germany and the Czech Republic.

Fresh Eating & Storage | Mid-Season Fruit Harvest | Hardy to Zone 4
Cordera is brilliantly sweet and perfectly tart, gloriously juicy and easy to grow!
