How Much Do Fruit Trees Cost?
This guide covers typical fruit tree prices, what affects the cost, and how to compare nursery quotes.
Typical prices by job
| Job | What it involves | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Bare-root young tree | Dormant, small, shipped without soil | $20 - $50 |
| Container-grown tree | Young tree in a nursery pot | $40 - $150 |
| Mature or specialty tree | Larger stock or less common variety | $150 - $500+ |
Ranges are typical, not quotes - the price for your job depends on scope and location, so always confirm with the provider.
What affects the price
Tree size and age are major price drivers: bare-root saplings usually cost less than larger container-grown or mature trees. Variety matters too, especially for dwarf, unusual, or locally adapted cultivars. Some varieties need a compatible pollinator, which can mean buying a second tree.
Prices also vary by region, season, and seller. Shipping, delivery, planting, and soil amendments may be charged separately, while local pickup can avoid freight costs.
How to pay less
Choose a healthy young tree suited to your climate rather than paying extra for mature size. Compare bare-root options during dormancy, check whether the variety is self-fertile, and ask what shipping or planting includes.
Compare two or three quotes from independently reviewed providers on Reedleys to see quickly whether a number is fair.
Cost questions
Usually not when you buy from a nursery. Ask for the tree price and planting charge separately, and confirm whether delivery is included.
Quotes can cover different tree sizes, root types, varieties, and guarantees. Shipping distance and seasonal availability can also change the total.
Some fruit trees produce well on their own, while others need a compatible pollinator nearby. Check the variety's pollination requirements before ordering.
