The Montana Heritage Orchard program provides heritage orchards across Montana with resources to preserve their orchards, document Montana's fruit growing history and propagate heirloom and lost apple cultivars for backyard and commercial production.  

To support the administration of this program and further preserve tree genetics, a retail tree propagation program has been created.  Several nurseries around the state have participated in the program and can be contacted to see what trees they have available. For more information about this program and future tree inventory contact Garret Stahl, WARC research associate, garret.stahl@montana.edu.
