Orchard Essentials & Trusted Tools

Stark Bro's Premium Fruit Trees: My trusted source for high quality, bare root stock like the Golden Delicious Apple Tree.

Pro-Tip: Make sure to soak the roots in water for a few hours before planting to ensure they get off to a strong, hydrated start.

HydroTech Pro Expandable Hose (100-Ft Premium Series): The absolute game changer for backyard workflow. It delivers 2X the flow rate, expands instantly, and is completely kink-resistant while staying incredibly lightweight to carry around. Features heavy duty stainless steel fittings and a limited 10 year warranty.
Pro-Tip: Always turn off the water at the spigot valve when you are done watering. Letting the hose contract naturally on its own keeps it in pristine condition and completely out of the way on your patio!

Okatsune Pruners: The absolute gold standard of Japanese steel blades for clean, razor sharp structural cuts.

Pro-Tip: Wipe the blades down with a little rubbing alcohol after every use to keep them sanitized and prevent the spread of diseases between your trees.
