Rootstock / Seedling – 39th Parallel Nursery & Orchard Lawrence, Kansas

You’re unlikely to find these varieties offered by any other nursery in the US.  We grow them for a reason.  They are singular, unique and exceptional.

39^th Parallel Apple The 39th Parallel apple is a highly disease resistant, old apple tree that was growing at our farm when we purchased the property.  It’s a pleasant lower acid table apple and cooks down to a soft, melting texture.

Butterball Apple Imported from Germany 1980’s. An ornamental crabapple that produces little sugary highly flavored orange fruit. Its unique orange fleshed fruit has been compared to the flavor of loquat and lychee. Its fruit hangs on the tree into winter and is highly favored by wildlife.

Clark’s Crab Developed by Clark DeLisle in Northeast Kansas. Chosen from an experimental planting of apples grown from the seeds of select Michigan wild apples. Produces heavy late season crops of sweet tart candy like fruit. Beautiful yellow / red apples up to 2″ in size. Useful for fresh eating, Jelly, cider wildlife or ornamental.

Milo Gibson Milo Gibson has a rich warm balanced flavor with a hint of anise when fully ripe.  Discovered by Milo Gibson In Linnton, Oregon. Originally called Linnton but later renamed to honor Milo Gibson, co-founder of NAFEX (North American Fruit Explorers). DNA testing revealed its parents to be Golden Delicious and Northern Spy.

Red Cinnamon (Punakaneli) is an extremely cold hardy, aromatic variety grown in Russia and Finland. It has firm texture, and mild sweet-tart flavor with the aroma and taste of cinnamon. It is well-suited for fresh eating, juicing, baking, making sauces, and stores for a few months.

Lazy J Pear Discovered growing at the Lazy J Ranch near Lawrence, Kansas.  39th Parallel Nursery was asked by the owner of the property to propagate clones of their beloved pear.  Upon examining the tree, it was found to be an old very healthy tree growing alone in the middle of a pasture.  The fruit is round like an Asian pear but has a finer texture of a European variety and excellent flavor.

Turnbull Pear A Kieffer Pear seedling from discarded kitchen scraps thrown to Horses. Discovered by Ken and Doris Turnbull of Depew, Oklahoma in the early 1960s.  Large round pear with a crisp citrus flavor.

The New Year has started with unseasonably warm temperatures.  It’s a perfect time to plant fruit trees.  Contact us if you have a pending tree order you would like shipped this week or if you would like to place an order for immediate shipment.  Scion starts shipping at the end of the month, and Rootstock orders start shipping in March.
