| Tree / Plant | Good to Know | Best Time to Plant (north GA) |
| Peach | Our home crop. We’ve grown peaches here for over 100 years, so we know what works in this soil and this climate. | November – February |
| Apple | Does well in north Georgia. You’ll want two varieties for good pollination. | November – February |
| Pear | European and Asian pears both do well here. Hardy and long-lived once they’re established. | November – March |
| Plum | Japanese plums are your best bet in our region. Most do better with a second variety nearby. | November – February |
| Fig | One of the easiest fruiting trees you can grow here. Loves the heat, handles our clay soil, and can give you two crops a year. | November – March, or early spring |
| Nectarine | Grown and cared for the same way as peaches. Choose a low-chill variety for reliable results. | November – February |
| Asian Pear | Crisp and productive. A good choice if you’re just getting started with fruit trees. | November – March |
| Japanese Persimmon | Don’t overlook this one. Low-maintenance, beautiful in the fall, and the fruit keeps well without refrigeration. | November – March |
| Pecan | A long-term investment, but pecans can produce for generations. A true Southern staple. | November – January |
| Pomegranate | Tougher than most people think. Handles drought well once it’s settled in and grows as a large shrub or small tree. | March – April (container); November – February (dormant) |
| Blueberry (Rabbiteye) | Native to Georgia and built for our climate. Longer-lived and easier to grow than northern varieties. We carry multiple varieties – plant two or more for the best harvest. | November – March |
| Blackberry | Fast-growing and generous producers. Thornless varieties available. Great along a fence line. | November – March |
| Raspberry | Grows well here with a little afternoon shade in summer. Everbearing types give you two rounds of fruit. | November – February |
| Muscadine | A Southern native and one of the most heat-tolerant vines you can plant. Perfect for an arbor or fence. | November – March |
| Scuppernong | A bronze muscadine with a flavor all its own. A classic Georgia garden plant. | November – March |

Seasonal Flowers & Plants for Your Home
Bring some color home from the farm. Whether it’s spring, summer, or fall, we carry a rotating selection of seasonal flowers and plants to brighten up your flower beds and garden. From petunias to azaleas, you’ll find the seasonal favorites you’re looking for – and we’re always happy to help you pick the right ones.
Just keep in mind that our flower and plant selection changes with the seasons, so what we have on hand varies. Give us a call at 770-869-3999 or send us a message if you want to know what’s in before you make the trip.
Grown and Chosen Right Here
We’re not a garden center. We’re a working farm that’s been in the same family for over 100 years, growing fruit in the same north Georgia soil. When we pick a variety to carry, it’s because we’ve seen it grow here – in this heat, in this clay, through these winters.
When you stop by, you’re not on your own. Our team knows these plants and can help you figure out what makes sense for your yard, your soil, and how much time you want to put into it. Whether you’re putting in one tree or planning a whole backyard orchard, we’ll point you in the right direction.

Questions We Hear a Lot
Quite a few, honestly. Peaches are our specialty and have been since 1912. Figs, pears, apples, plums, persimmons, and pecans all do well here too. Blueberries – especially the rabbiteye varieties that are native to Georgia – are some of the easiest plants you can grow in this part of the state. When you stop by, we can talk through what makes the most sense for your yard.
We typically have trees, bushes, and vines from November through May. That said, what we carry depends on the season and what’s ready, so inventory changes. Your best bet is to call ahead at 770-869-3999 or reach out through our contact form so we can tell you exactly what’s in stock.
Not always. What we have reflects what’s been grown and is ready for the season. Some years we have a great selection of a particular variety – other years, growing conditions mean we have less of it or none at all. That’s just the nature of farming. We’d rather be upfront about it than have you make the drive for something we’re out of.
In-person only, at our market on Hwy 365 in Alto. The upside is you get to see what you’re getting, and our team can help you pick the right tree and talk through planting before you leave.
They’re native to Georgia, which means they’re built for our climate. They handle the heat and humidity better than northern varieties, they’re tough once established, and they tend to live a long time. We carry several varieties, and it’s worth planting more than one, since they pollinate each other and you’ll get a much better harvest.
About 20 minutes north on Highway 365, right at the 35-mile marker in Alto. An easy drive from Hall County.
