Nampa offers roughly 150 frost-free days each year. That window supports a wide range of fruit trees when you pick the right varieties.
We carry semi-dwarf apple, Montmorency cherry, and Bartlett pear. These varieties have fruited well for backyard growers across the Treasure Valley. Semi-dwarf sizes fit smaller yards and make harvest easier.
Gardeners near Lake Lowell often ask about stone fruits. Our staff can walk you through options that match your yard space and how much fruit you want to harvest each season.

Timing matters when you plant a new tree. Nampa's average last frost lands in early May. Early-October freezes mark the end of the fall window.
Spring planting works best from late March through May after the ground thaws. Your tree has the full growing season to set roots before winter.
Fall planting runs from September through mid-October. Cooler air and warm soil help roots establish without the stress of summer heat.
Homeowners in Franklin Village and the Vallivue School District zone follow the same schedule. Call us if you need help deciding which window fits your project.
