After you have been to the Petty's apple festival on the last Sunday in March to taste apples you will be ready to select what you like for the winter bare-root season.

When this course is attended from Mar to June this is an ideal way to prepare for planting in winter bare root season. we have added over 300 more varities to out collection & We have brought back a huge collection of material from our last trip to add more value to this course.

We will also have a few hundred varities of trees on the day available for purchase as well, these are in pots for planting any time of year.
