    TREE NURSERIES

    I'm looking to purchase 6-8 apple trees. I would like trees that drop late. I usually go with Woodstock but from what I'm hearing their trees are mostly m7. Also Cummins inventory for b118 looks slim. Any recommendations? I'm in West central Wi.

    We have 5-6 old apple trees that I cut the brush around. This tree has some new growth in the center but the side branches look dead. Would it be best to cut everything except the new growth?

    How do you keep ants off your trees? I'm seeing a lot of them on my young apple trees. One chestnut crab doesn't look good as the leaves are curled. I will get pics this weekend.
