Does anyone have any experience with Northern Spy in an area with a number of Cedars? I read online it is susceptible but not really sure what that means. I am looking at one for my house which has cedars within 200 yards. I currently have a small orchard of various pears, Franklin, Liberty...
Hey all. I am a bit late to replant some of my apple trees I had going in my raised beds. They started to bud out already. Do you think it is safe to replant at this point or should I just wait until fall. These are some 1-2 year old trees but with everything going on in the world I haven't...
Guys just curious if there is anything I can do to this years grafts that are showing heavy signs of CAR in my raised beds at home? I grafted a number of trees early this spring, transplanted outside. I thought that my first year grafts would be okay, I do have a number of cedars nearby...
Okay guys have a two part question here. I started grafting last year. I didn't have the best success rates around 60%, but the remaining roostock I kept all alive in my raised bed. I am planning on regrafting them this spring. They are currently tucked in my raised bed. My questions are...

I see that the Home Depot by my work has Keiffer and Luscious Pears marked down to 5 dollars a tree. They are potted and around 6' tall. I tried to plant 2 Kieffers around a month ago that are showing serious stress signs as highlighted in another post. I was wondering can you keep these...
New member here and I have an unknown variety of Apple at my house that is showing some sign of disease and was hoping I could get your help. In last week all the leaves started looking like those pictured.
I am not sure what kind of Apple it is but it was planted by old homeowner at my...
Hey guys new member here after being a lurker for some time. I am currently working on improving the habitat around my house in SE PA and hope in the near future to start some improvements on family property in NE Pa. I just picked up a few Keiffer Pears on sale at HD for 9 bucks a piece. I...
