Isle of Sky Farm & Nursery focuses on native and locally adapted seeds, seedlings, edible plants and fruiting trees.
Isle of Sky Farm & Nursery is where you will find the hardy heirloom fruit and berry plants you have been unable to find elsewhere.
The nursery includes HEIRLOOOM tree fruits, vegetable transplants, berries, roses, perennials, and herbs for culinary, medicinal, and bee use. Moreover, you will be able to see them growing in the demonstration gardens.
Isle of Sky Nursery is open for the winter season by appointment
Isle of Sky Nursery and Botanical Garden in White Oaks is open by appointment, for pick up of fruit trees, fertilizer and growing supplies.
A one of-a-kind full service Plant Nursery and Demonstration Garden, Isle of Sky specializes in hardy heirloom fruit trees, berries, culinary and medicinal herbs, and seeds. It is the home of the amazing Grow Gold fertilizer and sells the best potting soil, garden supplies, seasonal vegetable transplants and much more.
“We specialize in historic, heirloom fruit trees which have proven themselves for over a century to withstand challenging climate and soil conditions unique to New Mexico.
“There is a large selection of Apple, Pear, Plum, Apricot, Peach and Quince trees in the Nursery now. Fall and early Winter is the BEST time to plant fruit trees.
All trees are made, by grafting, here in the Nursery.“NOW is the time to buy one of these special trees for yourself or as a gift. For the remainder of 2025, all trees are deeply discounted to reduce the number to be carried through the Winter. Other than custom orders, there will be no new trees grafted this Winter to replace the current inventory.
“Contact me by January 15th to order a custom grafted tree with your favorite fruit variety or for a copy of an old favorite family tree. It is often possible to graft several varieties of apples onto the same tree or graft plums, apricots and peaches on to the same tree. I have hundreds of historic varieties to choose from.”
~~ Jaimee Zischke Tate
Many of our trees we have for sale are already producing fruit.
All of Jaimee’s trees and plants are grown in the Isle of Sky gardens at 6,500 elevation in challenging conditions.
