Apples-Cider The cider apple and perry pear varieties we offer are prized for making hard, alcoholic cider. These varieties, when blended with both sweet and tart varieties, also brighten the flavor of sweet cider or apple juice. In addition to the varieties listed here, we have several other high quality cider varieties that we can custom graft in commercial quantities upon request. We offer 4-6' bareroot trees.
