Selecting a nursery with a DWN Master Fruit Taster on staff will add a sense of confidence when making your fruit tree selections.
These individuals have taken the time to experience fruit at a more expert level.
In becoming a Master Fruit Taster, they have sampled over 90 varieties of fruit at different stages of ripeness through two seasons or more. Master Fruit Tasters can help select the best suited, best tasting varieties for your back yard.
