I ordered 3 trees from them they arrived well packed and in great shape. planted them and they took right away. I highly recommand them!! Great communication.Never had any problem. Will be buying from again soon. THANKS
I ordered 4 apple scions which arrived promptly and well packaged. all 4 of the scions took, and a couple of them even blossomed. so i may even get apples from them in my first year. either way, will definitly order from them again. their communication is somewhat lacking though. several emails went unanswered.
I also have ordered apple scionwood from Maple Valley, and received high quality scions in excellent condition. This spring was my second order. Like the first, it arrived, carefully packaged, toward the end of March, still dormant (a most important consideration, more important than timing, especially at my end of the continent !) and of generous size and full vigor. I would also like to note that in both orders I received every variety I ordered--which in my experience is a bit unusual. This is an A+ supplier in my book, and I recommend highly.

I ordered over 30 varieties of apple scionwood. Received them well-packaged, and in good condition. They added a few just for good measure. My only negative comment is that they arrived late for grafting, by local standards, [3rd week of March vs. late February]. Consider this to be a very pleasant experience, and I will order many more times from this company.

I have purchased fresh apples, plums and pears from Maple Valley Orchards on several occasions. The quality and variety are excellent. The number of apple varieties that are available is remarkable.
I have also been very pleased with the bare root fruit trees that I have purchased over the past few years.
This is not a typical commercial orchard aimed at mass production of common apples. The owners are a husband and wife team that do most of the work themselves. They take great pride in producing many rare and hard to find varieties. We were actually able to setup an apple tasting for our local gardening organization with over 40 varieties of apples; none of which were available in the local grocery store.
This place is worth a special trip just to sample all of the speciality apples that they have. I don't think you could find many of them anywhere else in Wisconsin.
