Yellow Transparent Apple

Yellow Transparent Apple (Malus pumila) is also known by the names White Transparent and Grand Sultan. It produces a medium to large apple with a transparent pale yellow skin.

Yellow Transparent Apple was developed in the late 1800’s for folks living in Minnesota, the Dakota’s, and Michigan who needed cold hardy fruit trees. The USDA imported cold hardy apples from Russia and ultimately Yellow Transparent was chosen more so for its early productivity and good quality.

Yellow Transparent Apple is self-fertile and is a useful pollinator for other nearby apple varieties. This tree is a vigorous grower and heavy bearer.

Yellow Transparent Apple is an early season apple with fruit ripening in August. It is an excellent cooking apple and also good for fresh eating.

Yellow Transparent Apple is hardy to USDA zone 2.

Apple trees need regular water for good fruit production and growth. Trees That Please Nursery has Yellow Transparent Apple available on M111 rootstock. Apple trees grown on M111 rootstock grow well on both clay and sandy soils and can be kept to any desired height with summer pruning.

Question: How close to my house can I plant a Cottonwood tree?

Cottonwoods grow to be immense trees attaining dimensions of up to 40 - 50 feet tall and wide with a root system to match. Cottonwoods have a surface root system that can heave sidewalks, crack walls and home foundations if planted too close. Cottonwoods should be planted a minimal distance from structures of at least 25 feet if not further. Trees That Please Nursery carries two varieties of cotton-less, Cottonwood Trees. Please contact us or stop by the store for more information.

Afghan Pine

The Afghan Pine ( Pinus eldarica ) is also known as Desert Pine, Eldarica Pine or Mondell Pine. Afghan Pine is native to low rainfall areas of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and southern Russia . In fact, when planted in areas of high rainfall (> 20” per year), it becomes susceptible to a number of diseases and rapidly declines. This problem has occurred in East Texas. The Afghan Pine thrives in heat, wind, and tolerates drought. Afghan Pine must be planted in soils with good drainage like sand. It is not suitable for poorly drained heavy clasy soils. Afghan Pines are generally pyramidal or Christmas tree shaped in form when young becoming more oval or irregular with age. The leaves of the Afghan Pine are evergreen needles usually found in groups of 2 per fascicle or sheath. Needles are shed after several years and make excellent mulch as they fall around the trees base. It has attractive trunk bark that becomes dark and furrowed with...

All About the Shantung Maple!

The Shantung Maple ( Acer truncatum ) is also known as the Purple Blow Maple due to the color of its newly emerging leaves which are red-purple (see photo below). These young expanding red-purple leaves change to green as they mature. Leaves are small, about the size of Japanese Red Maple leaves, perhaps 3’-4’ wide at maturity. The Shantung Maple grows 1′-2′ annually reaching 25″ tall and wide. This is our tree for all planting situations. This Maple does well in heavy clay, sandy soils, full sun, or part shade. It can be planted in a lawn or next to a hot asphalt street (see photo below). It seemingly is a happy tree enjoying life wherever it is placed. One place we would not recommend planting this tree is in a rockscape which is just too hot and inhospitable to support this beautiful tree. A smaller tree, the Shantung Ma...
