Fruit Trees at My Garden Nursery 

Thinking about adding edible plants to your garden? Now is a great time to explore our beautiful selection of fruit trees and berries! At My Garden Nursery, we carry varieties that are well-suited to the unique climate and soils of Bellingham and the greater Whatcom County area. Whether you're starting a backyard orchard or tucking a few berry bushes into your landscape, we have what you need to grow something delicious.

Our fruit trees are at least two years old, and many are already beginning to produce fruit—so you won’t have to wait long to enjoy the rewards.

Choose from cold-hardy apples, pears, cherries, plums, figs, grapes, berries, and espalier-ready options for smaller spaces—along with blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, honeyberries, and more. Every variety is hand-picked for its performance in our cool maritime climate, disease resistance, and exceptional flavor.

Rainier Cherries are a true treat—golden fruit with a pink blush and exceptional sweetness. These beauties need a second cherry tree nearby to fruit, and they grow best in well-draining soil with full sun. Just be ready to share with the birds— or be on netting duty come harvest time!

Flavor Grenade Pluots are a showstopper in any home orchard. This unique hybrid between a plum and an apricot offers an explosion of crisp texture and sweet-tart tropical flavor—truly unlike anything else you can grow. The oblong greenish-yellow fruit with red speckling ripens late in the season and holds beautifully on the tree. Flavor Grenade needs a pollinizer, such as a Santa Rosa plum or another Japanese plum-type, and grows best in full sun with rich, well-drained soil. In our region, they benefit from a warm, sheltered microclimate—perfect for a south-facing wall or sunny garden nook. Italian Prunes are reliable, self-fertile plums that ripen in late summer with rich, sweet flavor. They're perfect for drying, baking, or fresh eating and do wonderfully in our regional climate.

Honeyberries (Haskaps) are one of the first berries to ripen each spring, and they’re an under-the-radar favorite for Northwest gardeners. With a flavor somewhere between a blueberry and a raspberry, these easy-to-grow shrubs love our cooler weather and require two varieties to pollinate. They’re great for hedgerows, edible landscapes, and curious snackers.

All fruit trees do best in full sun with good airflow and well-draining soil. If your soil leans clay-heavy, mix in G&B Soil Building Conditioner or Land & Sea Compost to improve drainage. Trees prefer slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0). Dig wide, shallow holes and make sure the graft union stays above soil level.

Water deeply and mulch well—just not directly against the trunk.

Berries need rich, loose soil. Blueberries love acidic conditions and benefit from G&B Acid Planting Mix and Espoma Berry-Tone Fertilizer Raspberries and honeyberries both appreciate regular pruning and summer watering, especially in their first two years.

While you're browsing the fruit trees, don’t be surprised if you're joined by our garden cats, Mr. Dilly Pickles and Mrs. Dally Cucumber. Dilly is our orchard supervisor and mouser (mostly self-appointed), while Dally prefers doing zoomies through the berry patch— unless there's a sunny spot to nap in, of course. They may not know the science behind soil pH or chill hours, but they do know where the best plants are. And they’re always happy to supervise your selections.

Many of our trees and berry plants are already producing or well on their way, giving you a jumpstart on growing your own edible paradise. From homemade jam to crisp apples and golden Rainier cherries, the joy of picking fruit from your own garden is just around the corner. Stop by soon—Dilly, Dally, and the rest of the team can’t wait to help you get growing!
