Where to buy a combination fruit tree?
I'd like to buy a combination stone fruit tree for planning ASAP. Something like Peach, Apricot, and plum.
Anyone know where such a tree can be found? I know they exist. Bylands is usually my go-to place for something like this but their website only shows a combination apple (already have one) or a combination plum (Not interested in 3 types of plums).
Thanks!

That's a good question. I don't even know if they exist here . . .
I know Costco has a 4 variety apple, but I didn't know at all about any others that might be available. I'll be watching to see if anything comes of this.

Or learn the art grafting for yourself.

Always a possibility. Gaining access to the branches or buds from another tree is a bit of a pain tho.

Yowch - those are a bit pricier than I was expecting. Is the peach freestone or clingstone? And how cold hardy?
The 4 apple variety is $55 at Costco - tag said it was good to zone 2, -46. A peach tree I was eyeing at Bylands was $55 as well.
Question - when you buy a tree, do you have to register or anything? I have an Italian Prune Plum so I don't need to spray - I heard there can be difficulties if you don't join the SIR program . . .

Yeah, the price is a little steep but I think it's worth it. The tree was actually grown by Bylands according to the label. Not on their website tho. May be able to pick it up directly from them for cheaper. I didn't want the hassle or to make a special trip out to the Westside so I was willing to pay the extra $30.
Rated zone 3. The peach variety is Red Haven which is a good all-around freestone peach from what I can tell.
Fruit Salad tree is all stonefruit which doesn't need to be registered with SIR. I believe only Apple, Crabapple, and Pear trees need to be registered.

Re: Where to buy a combination fruit tree?
I saw some multi apple varieties at Byland's on the westside. Not sure if they have a multi fruit?
They have lots of fruit trees so maybe check them out! A plum, peach apricot sounds amazing!!
Dogwood nurseries has lot's as well, but they are a bit of a drive from town.

Lately? They are available now?
As WW3 develops, no one is going to be dissing the "preppers." What have you done?

I was looking at them this summer, as I had only just seen this on the net. They had many, and likely still do. I think I will try one this year.

I saw some at Canadian Tire last year. They had Bylands tags.
