Jimmy Appleseed

Jimmy Appleseed helps households and community organizations grow fresh fruit at home, work, and places where children learn. Founded by Jim Simpson, the business draws on his childhood memories of family fruit trees and aims to make growing fruit more accessible without requiring customers to manage an orchard or develop specialist skills.

The service includes delivery and planting of fruit trees, or potting them for yards, patios, and other suitable spaces. Customers can choose from a range of apple varieties, including multi-variety trees, as well as cherry, plum, pear, peach, and grape options, subject to availability. Jimmy Appleseed also offers ongoing tree care, including pruning, pest control, and disease inspection and management. The site describes its approach as organic and affordable, and says trees are covered by a service-care agreement that includes a growth and fruiting warranty.

Jimmy Appleseed also encourages schools, day-care centers, churches, and other child-focused organizations to introduce children to growing, learning about, and enjoying apples.
