This annual sale brings together far more types and varieties of fruit trees than can be found anywhere else in the greater Houston area. Due to the dramatic increase in interest in planting fruit trees, there will be about 70% more trees and berries than at the January 2009 sale. View the fruit varieties available at the January 9, 2010 sale and a price list of varieties for sale. To help attendees learn more about the varieties of fruit trees for sale, Urban Harvest will host Prepare for the Fruit Tree Sale Class to be held at two different locations.

Funds raised by this sale go directly to the many vital Urban Harvest programs, including outdoor classrooms at schools, donation gardens supplying fresh food to soup kitchens and food pantries, and the many organic gardening classes offered so inexpensively by Urban Harvest and its talented and knowledgeable staff. It also helps fund the Urban Harvest Farmers Market where local growers bring their produce to sell. The sale itself helps to make Houston a greener place to live - our sale has been given an Arbor Day award for this effort.
