First time I saw more than one cat on my trail cams

Cummins is having 35% off remaining stock all trees and a grab bag of 10 trees for $50 but you get what they pick. The trees didn’t meet minimum grade so they are selling at discount of 5 bucks per tree and you will know the rootstock and type of tree when you get them. I will be picking up mine...

Is there anything I can do with 2 grafts that only have fruit buds waking up? Seems I picked a Zestar scion that was all fruit buds. Can I make a cut above the fruit bud that has broken and hope I will get something to sprout off the cut? Maybe score the scion and hope a new bud will sprout...

Here is an excerpt from an article I found on net for Kate blooming apple varieties that could help some of you guys who get hit with late frosts. Not my list but thought it would be I interesting Suddenly, I understand why Early Transparent is probably the most common apple variety planted...

not the biggest buck in the world based on some monsters I have seen in this section but for PA and our farm it's nice to see us harvest a good mature buck with some nice horns. He was shot by my cousin from Florida at about 8:30 am and he didn't even know if he got it because he never saw it...

here is a short video of my cabin barn and the surrounding trees. I am not good at it yet so its a bit shaky. If you don't like a buzzing noise mute the sound

was wondering if anyone was at green too stage yet with the warm weather we have been having and more worried about the cold weather over the next few days which could cause some loss depending on how far along your trees have progressed? I reposted the critical temp chart from U of Michigan...

Does anyone have an idea what this apple might be? I have 5 of these trees that were some of my first apple trees planted and at the time I knew nothing about types and rootstocks and just wanted apples for the deer. I am not even sure which nursery I got them from but its either Cummins or...

Here is a pic of the bushel and a half of GingerGold and 3/4 bushel of Chestnut Crab. The Adams County ripening chart says August 12 for Ginger Gold which is a few weeks ahead of where I am in PA. I picked most of the apples from the tree as some were starting to fall and I wont be there or a...

I got the word that the spores that cause apple scab are starting to appear so I will be spraying copper and dormant oil which takes care of a lot of mites and aphids that could later cause damage to apples. I am reading the Penn State Fruit Times and although the occurrence is south of me I...
