cloud mountain farm center online! For additional plant listings and more information about Cloud Mountain Farm Center, visit our website at: www.cloudmountainfarmcenter.org You can check plant availability and place orders 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

shipping plants We ship from February 15 through mid- April, and again in early October, weather permitting. We will only ship when we feel confident that the plants will arrive in good condition. Some plants have very restricted shipping seasons for that reason. When we confirm your order, we will try to specify the ship date that we feel is best. We do not cold store plants. If you are in the Midwest, on the east coast, or in Alaska, we may not be able to ship you dormant plants during your prime planting season.

Why is shipping so expensive? We ship USPS priority mail, and shipping is cal-culated by the USPS zones. Although it is expensive, by shipping Priority Mail, we can be sure the plants arrive quickly and in good shape. Fruit and nut trees often ship in boxes that are 60" x 8" x 8". These boxes are oversized and considered 20 lbs, no matter how light they are, and in zones 4-8 also incur a balloon charge. We ship to all states within the U.S., limited by weather and each state’s agricultural restrictions. At this time, we do not ship to other countries.

volunteer opportunities Volunteering at the Center is a great way to make a difference while engaging with the local horticultural and agricultural community. While volunteering at Cloud Mountain, you can expect to gain hands-on education while meeting new people and working in our beautiful setting. Interested? Contact us! Looking to volunteer as a large group or corporate party? The more the merrier! Please contact the Center for more information at 360.966.5859.

“It’s a sense of place that connects us all. From the seed in the ground, to the harvest of the fruit, to our communities’ plates, restaurant menus, and back to the earth. This sense of place, and protecting our farmland and communities is what Cloud Mountain is all about.”

~ Cheryl Thornton, Co-Founder

growing togetherThis past October, we celebrated the 30th annual Fall Fruit Festival! With over 1800 visitors coming out to the farm throughout the weekend, it’s always a refreshing reminder of the impact of the work in the community – connecting us all to food, our sustenance, and each other.

For over 40 years, we’ve worked hard to increase the diversity of fruits and plants grown in our region, educate new farmers to home gardeners, and made efforts to contribute to a healthy local food system and healthy, sustainable gardens.

AND – you are a part of it! We’d love for you to know how your purchases of nursery plants, trees, and produce affects our work, and the effectiveness of the programs we provide in the community.

Read on the next few pages to find exciting updates and brief overviews of our various educational programs, their impacts, and how to get involved.

We are humbled to continue this work as a non-profit farm center – educating our community about how food is grown and raised, and supporting new farmers in the important journey to launch viable operations.

Thank you for your continued support and for eating from our place in the world.

cherry trialsSweet cherries are a challenge for a number of reasons, but early bloom and susceptibility to canker diseases are the most difficult to overcome. At Cloud Mountain, we have been evaluat-ing growing methods that can help overcome these challenges.

UFO - Growing cherries on trellis systems has proven to have several advantages. First, the trees can be kept smaller and yet still are very productive.

covers - Covering sweet cherries with roofs or tunnels can help prevent canker disease by preventing frost damage in early spring. Overhead cover protects the cherries from rain splitting at harvest, and facilitates insect and bird netting.

peach trialsCloud Mountain has been growing peaches since 1980. In the past 15 years, we’ve planted trials of both curl resistant and non-curl resistant peaches. Peach leaf curl is the disease that is the most difficult to deal with in our climate. If you want to grow peaches without spraying, you should look first to curl resistant varieties.

Frost - The variety with the longest track record, Frost has always been very curl resistant. Its flavor is consistently up there with any others in this class fruit. It is more susceptible to brown

rot than other curl resistant varieties.

Avalon Pride - Fruit quality has firm, dense flesh, with a pleas-ing texture. It appears sensitive to canker diseases. Tree shows little bud damage in the spring from Brown Rot.

Salish Summer - Very disease free looking tree at bloom, in sev-eral years of observation Salish Summer shows the low amounts of brown rot in its buds or in the adjacent bark. It has a lighter bloom than most varieties and lighter fruit set in its first couple harvests compared to other curl resistant varieties.

Betty - Fruit quality has been su-perb, rich dense flesh that rivals any of the 16 non-leaf curl resistant varieties we have in our commercial trials. This fruit thinned properly is outstanding. Although we have produced only a few crops on the tree it really looks promising.

table grape trialsFor the past decade, we have been experimenting with pruning and trellis systems for table grapes. We have also been growing some newer varieties with an eye to disease resistance, splitting resistance, and early ripening.

Training systems - Spur pruning along with overhead and curtain trellising have proven to be the most productive management tools in our trials.

variety trials - The past years have shown us that resistance to fruit splitting is the key to quality grapes at harvest. Four varieties stand out: Interlaken, Jupiter, Canadice and Neptune all can take rain without splitting.

ongoing crop trials at cloud mountain farm centerCloud Mountain has been doing crop trials for nearly four decades. Our goal is to evaluate fruit varieties and growing methods for production, improving disease resistance and ease of cultivation for both the home gardener and the small market farmer.




For a successful plating:

• Stake all fruit trees at planting. Trees grafted on dwarf and mini-dwarf rootstocks should have a permanent stake or be grown on a trellis system. A good stake should be at least 8' tall, with 18"-24" buried, about 6" away from the trunk and should be rot resistant: treated wood or metal.

• Trunks should be tied in at least two places with a material that will not girdle the trees, such as stretch tie.Fertilize young fruit trees in the spring, and apply lime in the fall.

• Young fruit trees are not drought tolerant—make sure they have adequate summer water. Trees on smaller rootstocks may always need summer water to produce qual-ity fruit.

• Keep a weed and grass free zone around the tree, 3'-4' diameter in width.

what does ‘hardy’ mean?For many plants in the catalog, we have listed how hardy the plant is. What does that mean? The USDA Hardiness Zones are based on Average Annual Extreme Minimum Temperatures. For most of Western Washington, our average ex-treme minimum winter temperatures are in the 10°F-20°F range, putting us into USDA Hardiness Zone 8. We can get colder than 10°F, but most years we don’t.

These hardiness zones are only a guideline—plants that are not established may not tolerate as low a temperature as ones that are.

Even established plants can be damaged by cold winters, especially if the cold weather comes sud-denly, before plants go dormant. Drought stress during the summer can also influence a plant’s ability to withstand winter cold.

succeed with fruit treesThe fruit trees in this catalog are grafted—joining a fruit variety with a chosen rootstock

Why grafted?

• Fruit tree varieties do not come true from seed

• Fruit trees are difficult to root from cuttings

• Rootstock choice can influence size, soil tolerance and productivity

To create a new fruit tree, young wood from a desired variety is grafted onto the desired rootstock. Choose your rootstock. When deciding on what rootstock you want, keep in mind:

• Usually, smaller rootstocks will bear fruit earlier than larger rootstocks but require permanent staking

• Larger rootstocks are somewhat more tolerant of mar-ginal soil and more drought tolerant once established

• Larger rootstocks can be grown to fruit above deer browsing

Plant your fruit trees in well-drained soil in full sun. Do not amend the soil heavily. You can add some organic matter—compost or rotted bark—up to 20% of the total soil in the hole. Plant your tree so the graft is 2"-4" above the soil when finished.

cherry rootstock infoDWARF GISELA #5 The growth habit on

this rootstock is more spreading than upright—a desirable trait for cherries on trellis systems. Root anchorage is only fair, so staking is necessary. The stake is also extremely valuable for tying up branches that are laden with fruit. Can be maintained under 10' and is suitable for trellis systems. 8'–10' spacing.

SEMI-DWARF KRYMSK 5 Precocious with good anchorage and some tolerance of wetter soils. Unlike Gisela, productive varieties will not overset and produce small fruit on this rootstock. Can be maintained at 12'–15'. 12'–15' spacing.

SEMI-DWARF MAZZARD Tolerant of heavy soils. Well anchored, so only initial stak-ing needed. Vigorous sweet cherries on Mazzard will become large trees if not pruned. Can be maintained to 15'–18'. 15'-20' spacing.

getting started with UFO cherries

The Upright Fruiting Offshoots (UFO) system for sweet cherries was developed to simplify training, pruning, and crop management. At maturity, the UFO system yields a fruiting wall that is productive and simple to maintain. Each tree has a permanent single horizontal trunk from which fruiting shoots are grown vertically. Fruit are borne predominantly on spurs but also at the base of 1-year-old shoots, all on vertical wood. Establishing the UFO system is straightforward with little to no pruning required at planting.

• Space rows 9'-10' apart• In the row, space trees 5'-6' apart (Gisela 5

Rootstock)• Trellis should be at least 5 wires, lowest

wire at 20", then spaced every 18"-20"

• Unbranched (whip) trees are planted at a 45-degree angle pointing the terminal to the south. Important: do not plant the trees vertically and bend them to a 45-degree angle.

table grapes for cool sites

$14.95Northwest Washington has generally cool summers. Grape growers talk about Growing Degree Days when considering ripening times. Growing Degree Days (GDD) measure the accumulation of heat above 50°F during the summer. Much of Northwest Washington has GDD’s of 1500–1700. If you live near I-5, or within 20 miles of salt water, the varieties listed for cool sites will be the most likely to ripen for you.

dual purpose grapeMUSCAT OF NORWAY An early ripening red

starting with grapes in the northwestOur region differs from the main grape-growing regions of the world because of our lack of summer heat, but both table and wine grapes can be grown here successfully. A couple of tips to help you succeed:

• Site - Grapes absolutely need full sun, and should be sited in the warmest spot you have.

• Soil - Grapes prefer well-drained sandy or gravelly soil. If your soil is heavy, build raised beds or rows.

• Thinning: On established grapes, thinning shoots and fruit bunches is essential to fruit quality.

• Grafting: Wine grapes and later-ripening table grapes can be grafter to promote earlier ripening.

• Training for wine grapes: Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP) is a cane-pruning method that is easy to learn and maintain. New canes are trained on the lowest wire of a trellis, and shoots from those are trained vertically and bear fruit.

• Training for table grapes: Curtain systems are the most productive for table grapes. Permanent cordons are trained on a high wire. Shoots grow from spurs on the cordons and

hang down, each shoot bearing a bunch of grapes.Training for table grapes

figsFigs can be very successful in the Northwest, but they need careful siting and some summer pruning to produce the best crops. Planting them against a south or west facing wall will increase the summer heat to hasten ripening. Because they are on their own roots, established figs can freeze to the ground in a severe winter and come back the following year.

Hardy to 10ºFARBEQUINA A Spanish variety that is self-fertile,

early ripening, and quite ornamental. An evergreen tree, it grows to 10'–15' in many years, with soft gray, willow-shaped leaves. Needs a warm site, against a south or west wall is best, with well-drained soil. 1 gl. size.

what does ‘full sun’ mean?

Full sun is a minimum of 6-8 hours of direct sun exposure every day between March 21 and September 21. If the sun occurs very early or very late in the day, the sun effectiveness is less than mid-day sun. Full sun is especially important when growing fruit trees, as the trees will be more productive and the fruit ripen earlier in full sun sites.
