Get 30% off mystery apple trees, our once-a-year special while they last
What do Donald Rumsfeld and Cummins Nursery have in common? Sometimes they get confused and try to put a positive spin on it.
Each year a small percentage of our trees end up in the barn with no labels – the Mystery Trees. How does it happen? Human error. We can't blame the trees or computers. There are numerous opportunities in the lifecycle of a nursery tree for positive identification to be confounded.
Thus, these are not fruits from another planet or specimens unknown to pomologists. It's just that we lost track and we can't tell by looking. So we offer them to the public at a big discount to encourage folks to introduce some adventure into their orchards. Mystery trees can be fun gifts, too.
Mystery trees come in several flavors, best described using the Rumsfeld Scale of the mid-2000s:
(1) The "Known-Unknowns"
We know the scion and not the rootstock.
(2) The "Unknown-Knowns"
We do not know the scion but we know the rootstock.
(3) The "Unknown-Unknowns"
Dreaded! Unless you are an ADVENTUROUS ORCHARDIST!
This year we have a small batch of Category 2, Unknown-Knowns:
Mystery Apple on G.41 dwarf
Mystery Apple on G.11 dwarf
Mystery Apple on G.935 semidwarf
Mystery Apple on B.9 dwarf
You do not need a coupon for the mystery trees!
They are priced on the web site to show the 30% discount PLUS any applicable wholesale discounts for your tier (when you are logged in) or if you put more than 20 trees in your cart.
