    Blue Hill Nursery Sale

    I forgot all about ordering until the thread popped up. It was late afternoon and when I jumped on the site everything said sold out. I said oh well this one is on me, I will have to wait until next year. As I was driving home, another thread response popped up saying trees were available. I...

    When to leave stand

    I was just thinking about this same topic over the weekend. I am just getting started with the bow season and was out four days last week. I hunted the same blind and three of the four times that I hunted, deer blew as I was leaving my blind. The last time that I hunted, Saturday evening, I...

    Blue Hill Nursery Stock

    Fourth year is the charm! I usually wake up about five in the morning and I checked the site on a whim and saw that it was open for business. I was able to order two sweet advent pear, a turning point and an August apricot! Even then the persimmons that I wanted were already gone along with the...

    Blue Hill Nursery Stock

    I am in the same boat as Teeder, third year that I have missed out. I checked the site several times today but apparently it was not to be, again.

    Persimmon drop times

    Thanks for the website, I actually purchased several trees from there and planted the trees right where I want them in relation to my stands. I am hopeful that once all of the trees that I have planted and grafted start producing they will provide a reliable wildlife draw along with my apple...

    Persimmon drop times

    Thanks, that’s what I want to hear. I have read or been told that Barbra’s blush and Morris Burton don’t fall off the tree very easily so I was becoming concerned about some of the other that I have planted. I would probably still plant them anyway but I would locate them in different areas so...

    Persimmon drop times

    I planted many persimmons about five years ago but found that the deer kept the growth down until I either caged or put a tree shelter around them. I have been grafting to these for the last two years and have grafted the following: Yates, prok, deer candy, deer magnet, Lehman’s delight, Jon’s...

    This seasons persimmon graft is fruiting!

    I am an hour north of Dallas and grafted a male persimmon to Yates on March 29. After I did it, realized that I was probably way too early. I watched it and hoped that it would wake up as most of my grafts typically respond in 17-20 days. After several weeks and no signs of life, I thought it...

    Pear not blooming

    I am by no means an expert on tree issues but I can say from my limited fruit tree experience that I have noticed that my apples and pears trees seem to alternate from having a good year to barely producing. In fact, two of my apple trees which produced last year blossomed like crazy this year...

    Finally cut myself grafting

    That looks painful, sorry about the blood loss. I have only grafted a few persimmon and pear and have always used a bark graft. Not sure how it compares to the other types of grafting options out there but I know it works for me. I will be grafting some apple and a lot more persimmon in the next...

    Tukey with Bow

    I shot my first turkey with a bow when I was living up in South Dakota, a Merriam’s by hiding behind a tree and drawing when the bird walked in front of the tree towards my decoy on the other side. I have also taken eastern birds when living in Missouri. The majority of birds that I have taken...

    Tukey with Bow

    I don’t recall the exact number but have taken 4-5 turkey with a bow. The first time was without a pop up blind but for the rest, I have used a blind. A friend once told me that pop ups should be illegal for turkey hunting because you can get the bird to come in right where you want him. If you...

    Should it take this long?

    I will do that. Most of my plums escaped a late freeze this spring and the majority are still smaller than the size of a dime. I have a few apples flowering right now and my pears are also about the size of a dime. Hopefully we will have a good harvest this season.

    Should it take this long?

    I’m in north Texas and have been on a persimmon kick this spring. I planted 25-50 persimmon in the last several years but this year purchased 2 Moris Burton, a Yates, 2 prok and 3 deer magnets. These trees were purchased from three different companies and were planted in the following order, the...

    Bartlett Pear

    I am in north Texas and have tried barlett pear, I don’t think it lasted one season before the blight got it. It may just be my area but I agree with previous post, very susceptible to blight.

    Cuddeback's Cuddelink

    I appreciate your quick response. It was “warm” yesterday as I do live in Texas. Probably at least upper 80s in the shade. What would you say is the average distance that you set your cameras? We have also been receiving a lot of rain in my area and what typically happens is the deer will hit...

    Cuddeback's Cuddelink

    I apologize if this has already been discussed but did not want to read the entire discussion to find the answer. I have been running the J -black flash cameras since last September. I recently purchased one of the long range IR cameras to see if they provided better resolution. I initially set...
