Northern Fruits Greenhouse and U-Pick - Palmer, Alaska

These are great folks to work with-- a family operation. I've purchased trees from them twice now and both times, an excellent experience. The crab apples from three years ago are still going strong with no care. Had my business purchase twenty trees from them in September 2014. Contracted with them to help me plant, bring additional materials and the trees out to the site. They were all hard-working for close to five hours straight in steady drizzle. I'll definitely purchase from them again.

A little hard to find their place, up Clark-Wolverine a mile or two, look for a little sign on the right side of the road and turn in there.

Interesting hippieish place buried in the woods of a sketchy neighborhood. Junk cars aplenty in the way in. Definitely NOT your typical nursery business. It’s sort of a haphazard looking operation, but very nice friendly folks. Tight parking and very narrow one lane road in and out makes it difficult if it’s busy (as in- more than 6 or 7 customers). The woman (Debbie?) who appeared to be the owner was knowledgeable about everything. She seems willing to spend as long as necessary with each customer, but at the expense of other customers needing assistance. There was a young guy there, maybe her son, who seemed knowledgeable but wasn’t. He simply had a way of sounding like he knew what he was talking about. We ended up buying a few different things which weren’t what he claimed once we got home and looked up the varieties online.
This is primarily a fruit tree business. They have a small greenhouse with vegetables and flowers but not a lot of variety and the prices are much higher than other places locally. I get the feeling it’s more of a hobby than a serious business. We might go back to pick apples in the fall, just to try some different varieties for jelly. Probably would not return to buy plants.

I love this little nursery the family is very knowledgeable and nice and they try as hard as they can to help you. They have good prices for their hardy trees and information. The trollius i bought is growing like crazy and the apple that i have is growing very happy and healthy. I will definitely be going back.

I have lived and shopped in the Mat-Su valley for over 37 years and have never met a person as rude as the owner of this business. She started telling me everything that is wrong with the world and all I wanted was to purchase some plants and not to be converted to her brand world pollution. I will NEVER go back to this business and will tell all my friends to shop elsewhere.
