Southern Homestead Orchard Collection

Perfect for gardeners in USDA Zones 5–9 with 200–600 chill hours.

A Productive Orchard for Generations

Dreaming of harvesting fresh fruit from your own backyard? We’ve done the planning for you.

The Southern Homestead Orchard Collection has been professionally curated by Legg Creek Farm to provide a diverse, productive orchard designed specifically for Southern gardeners. From juicy peaches in early summer to crisp apples, sweet pears, figs, grapes, blackberries, blueberries, and persimmons later in the season, this collection provides months of fresh harvests while taking the guesswork out of choosing compatible varieties.

We’ve also selected pollination partners where they matter most, so your orchard is set up for long-term success from the very beginning.

After growing fruit trees in East Texas for many years, we've selected varieties that perform well in southern heat, offer good disease resistance, and provide reliable production.

Great choice if you:

• ✔️ Want to start your first orchard or expand an existing orchard
• ✔️ Live in the southern United States
• ✔️ Want fruit over several months
• ✔️ Prefer proven, compatible varieties

Why We Chose These Varieties

Every plant in this collection was selected with a purpose.

• Harvests begin in late spring and continue into autumn.

• Enjoy fruit for fresh eating, baking, canning, freezing, jelly, juice, and preserves.
• Includes a balanced mix of fruit trees, berries, cane fruit, and grapes to create a well-rounded backyard orchard.
