Trees of Antiquity
Description
There is a subtle shift in the season with lengthening shadows and swaying trees. Out west this is the sign that our growing season is beginning its annual decent into fall. Fall is the time when our labors and attention begin to meander away from the open field. We turn our attention to the tools in our enclosed structures in order to prepare for our annual winter send off of our precious heirloom fruit trees. We’re excited to share our bounty of bareroot trees which are a reflection of our labors throughout the last two seasons. There will be a few new additions to our catalog this season to ensure success growing these wondrous trees. They include liquid fertilizers and a soil test with professional recommendations. We have also added Jujubes and Chestnut trees to our inventory. As always, our nursery is centered on the rich history and future discoveries that our heirloom apple trees provide through the years. We continue to discover the unique flavors, textures and lore that surround our heirloom fruit trees and look forward to extending this experience to your home.
The common supermarket varieties appeal to commercial growers because they need fruit that ripens all at once, doesn’t bruise easily, grows high yields, ships and stores for extended lengths of time, and sits on the shelf without a blemish. These requirements are essential for commercial growers to meet because consumers have come to expect visually homogeneous fruit. This demand eliminates our cherished trees’ unique qualities like the Ashmeads Kernel’s shy bearing nature and russeted skin, or the diminutive, but uniquely sweet and pronounced tang of the Wickson apple. Our heirloom and traditional fruit trees exist thanks in great part to the home gardeners who continue to explore beyond the store shelves in search of a treasured trait that has eluded many of our supermarket aisles. We encourage everyone to maintain this search and share in the revival of these relics from the past. It’s a unique experience to bite into a fruit that explodes with a complexity of sweetness chased with a dash of tartness. What a delight to realize, after savoring this discovery, that this is one of thousands of flavors waiting to be rediscovered. We offer a small peek into a vast world of treasured sweets long forgotten, but still on the map. We provide the directions to rediscovering what is truly at the heart of us all, our food.
Our commitment to growing certified organic fruit trees began as a small seed planted in the soul of two young boys playing in the hills of the coastal sage in California. Our desire to preserve these fertile areas blossomed into Trees of Antiquity. We believe our farming methods reflect our commitment to finding new ways to live and work with the land. The apple trees are at the center of our nursery, but the soil is the body that contains the heart of the trees. Our organic growing methods require a five year crop rotation to prevent the build up of pathogens in the soil. We plant permanent hedgerows of native plants, fruit trees and annual flowers to attract a diverse population of beneficial insects, reptiles, birds, amphibians and small mammals. Fallow nursery blocks are planted with green manure crops in combination with compost to reduce soil erosion and return organic matter to the soil allowing the diverse population of bacteria, fungi, micro and macro fauna to thrive. Lastly, through our ambivalent relationship to the plants that have followed our agrarian path, the weeds, we have become quite skilled in our hand hoeing techniques! This traditional method of growing trees provides our workers, families, neighbors, flora and fauna a work place and home that has not been soiled with problems that our children will have to solve. We are careful not to compromise tomorrows needs for today’s desire. Ultimately, our success relies on the support of our customers and we believe our fruit trees are a simple gesture to you of our commitment to provide answers today on the best method for long term growth and prosperity for our trees, homes and communities.
