CUMMINS NURSERY

I feel like Cummins Nursery has arrived. My Dad, Dr. James Cummins, my Mom, Cindy Cummins, and I started the nursery in 1994 in Geneva, NY. That first digging season scarred me for life. We got 18" of snow in early November. We dug trees in the snow until the ground froze in late December. There were only three of us digging. Somehow, we managed to dig 25,000 trees in that seven weeks. This past fall, in 2020, we dug 45,000 trees in five days with eighteen people. It was fun. Nobody was scarred... But these days Cummins Nursery feels big to us. We have a sturdy barn to store your trees and solar panels on the roof. There is a deer fence around the crop and conservation protections on the land. We even have a monthly fruit tree newsletter that goes out most months. Here's how the boss, Steve Cummins, tells the story at the close of 2020..... We are a small fruit tree nursery in New York apple country. Since 1994, we have shipped trees to orchards of all sizes in the Lower 48 states...
