Still here is what I know. And, what a splendid project!<br /><br />You want to get your tree in the ground soon, to give it as much time as possible to settle in before next winter. Nurseries and some garden-supply stores will have apples, and there are places that will ship trees. Mahoney's has apple trees, but I can't vouch for the quality. Another place to try is Four Seasons in Lexington.<br /><br />Do give some thought to the tree and to the rootstock, which will determine its size. Most apple trees are self-sterile and will need an pollinating partner if you want it to bear. <br /><br />You might want to chat up the UMass Agricultural Extension Service, they have an orchard in Belchertown. A good nursery can also advice you.<br /><br />Really good luck! There used to be orchards in Arlington.<br /><br />Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245776593991049317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-22637610568854091502014-04-22T22:16:19.316-04:002014-04-22T22:16:19.316-04:00Hi Adam: I lived in Arlington Ma and I need an adv...Hi Adam: I lived in Arlington Ma and I need an advice for buying an apple tree for my front yard.
