Welcome to Maple Grove Orchard

As another beautiful Michigan autumn blesses us, it’s time to consider a few very important things that need to be done with our trees and plants before freezing temperatures and snow arrives.

Much of Michigan is in near drought conditions, which causes a high winter mortality rate in trees that were planted this spring. Be sure to keep them well watered until the fall rains begin (if they do). Once the ground is covered with a few inches of snow, mice, voles, and rabbits will chew the bark off the trunks for food, and the trees will die above that point. Put trunk guards on your trees before it snows!!!   Whitetail deer bucks love to rub the bark on fruit trees also, so if you have deer in the yard, fence the trees in.

This website will be updated around Christmas time, 2024 with our huge selection of trees and plants that we will offer for spring of 2025. We begin accepting orders January 1st, 2025.  If you see something you must have, order early, as we sell out each year.  Have a wonderful fall, and we’ll see you in the spring!

Welcome back to all of our previous customers, and welcome to all of our new ones who are purchasing stock for the first time in 2024. Hopefully this site will be easy to navigate and informative, and offer you a wider selection of varieties and rootstocks than you will find from other suppliers. Even more than just a great selection, we give you the knowledge to make these trees and plants thrive and become productive as soon as possible. The best fruit trees or plants are the ones with fruit on them, not the ones you’re waiting on to produce!!!

This year we are happy to offer over 100 varieties of the WORLDS FINEST fruit trees, blueberries, strawberries, grapes, several other types of fruiting plants, figs, kiwi vines, asparagus crowns, and nut trees.

 We also offer large, transplant size spruce, and fir trees in 12″-30″ sizes.

These are the trees and plants that orchards and farmers that grow fruit and vegetables for a living plant. This is not the stuff that you get from the chain stores, home improvement places, and mail order catalogs. This is the finest stock available. When you grow fruit for a living, there is no margin for error in the material that you plant, and you only start with the finest. THIS IS THAT STOCK!

The trees are bare-root, dormant trees (not in pots, and no leaves yet) and 4′-6′ in height. The strawberries and asparagus are also bare-root, and sold in bundles of 25 plants each.  All other stock is sold individually, some is potted and some is bare-root.

These trees and plants are available for CUSTOMER PICK-UP ONLY at the orchard near Linwood, Michigan (48634) in Bay County. WE DO NOT SHIP these trees as they are too large for practical shipping methods (most trees are 5′-6′ tall).

In a normal year, stock is ready for pick-up starting the FIRST WEEK IN APRIL. We can arrange about any pick-up time that’s convenient for you, (7 days a week) but your trees and plants must be picked up in April or early May. This dormant stock must be planted before it starts growing. The plants that are potted are available until late May since they can be planted any time.

To place an order, look through the varieties, and call or email to reserve your choices. If you email you must leave a phone number we can contact you at. If you order by email, you will receive a confirmation within 48 hours. If you don’t, check your spam or junk mail folder.

A deposit of 25% is required on orders over $200.00 (pre tax). The deposit can be paid by credit card (add 3%) or by check after you receive your order confirmation and verify it is correct.

If you see a variety that you like, reserve it promptly, as we don’t have an unlimited quantity of anything, and they all sell out each year.

Trees and plants not reserved can be purchased on a first come first served basis at the orchard later in April and early May.

ALL FRUIT TREES ARE PRICED AT $31.00 EACH THIS YEAR.  OTHER PLANTS ARE PRICED IN THEIR DESCRIPTIONS.

You will receive an email in early April to arrange a time for you to pick-up your stock. We understand that many parts of Michigan can’t plant until late April or May and will accommodate what works for you..

When it’s time to pick up your trees, a pick-up truck or SUV will be sufficient unless you have a large quantity. The trees are bundled together with the roots in plastic bags.
