FAQS
Let Us Know How We Can Help You
POLLINATION PROCESS - DO WE HAND POLLINATE?
We stock both Self Fertile & Self Sterile varieties. Our Self Fertile varieties need no attention during bloom - We let our Bees do the work for us! But our Self Sterile varieties definitely need our assistance during the bloom to be able to set fruit, we hand pollinate & always have plenty of pollen on hand. We love growing both types !
VARIETIES & CUTTINGS
We are constantly growing & expanding! Adding more & more varieties! However do not sell cuttings!
EMPLOYMENT
We receive alot of calls & email enquires regarding employment- Picking Rolls. We are family owned & solely family operated! we are not currently seeking to hire externally at this time.
