Fruit trees are any variety that bears fruit that is consumed or used by people. Any tree that flowers also produces fruit. The phrase ‘fruit tree’ in a horticultural sense only includes trees that provide fruit for human consumption.

Some popular varieties include: Apple, Plum, Cherry, Pear and Peach. Alsip carries a wonderful selection of both Apple and Plum trees.

Hi my name is Sandy O. and I reside here in St. John, Indiana. I have been a customer of the St.John Alsip Nursery Store since their opening day. I find their staff to be quite knowledgeable when I need assistance with gardening questions. Recently I discovered Alsip carries a wide variety of Organic Products for my lawn and garden. I shopped there last summer for a Step 2 Pond which I totally love and makes the summer so enjoyable listening to the trickling of water. I purchased an umbrella for my picnic bench.
