Main Street Trees

I feel like I stumbled upon a Napa secret with Main Street Trees. Tucked away in her highly improbably located 3 acre nursery, spitting distance from downtown Napa, Jean has amassed an amazing assortment of trees and herbs that are all locally grown and lovingly cared for. Her prices seem very reasonable compared to the big guys and she is a wealth of info. Don’t forget to call first as they are appointment only.

I found out about Main Street Trees from an online google search and after checking out their web-​site fruit tree information I made an appointment. Jean, the owner, spent an hour and a half walking me around her nursery educating me on pruning fruit trees so that my husband in a wheelchair can pick the fruit himself, creating intensive edible landscaping, how to plant trees that will thrive, the attributes of various varietals of apple, cherry, peach, and nectarine trees and other plants that can be grown in containers. She referred me to resources on the internet for more information. I looked up the youtube videos she recommended and watched about 10 educational videos with my husband, researched which varietals of each fruit tree we wanted and a week later I purchased 4 apples, 3 nectarines, 3 peaches, 3 cherries, a lime, a keffir lime and 6 blueberry plants. I bought trees that will produce this year. Jean picked out beautiful trees with lots of buds on them and gave me more advice on keeping records as I grow my garden. She is an amazing educational resource and very interested in helping her customers create gardens that will thrive. She gave me more info about organizations I can join and check out here in Napa as well as in Nor Cal to learn more about gardening, grafting and community gardening. My suburb home garden is going to feed me and my family and friends well and I am very grateful for Jean and Main Street Trees for starting me on the right foot. Definitely check it out!
