sounds awesome! I hope you can get that cross pollinating idea to work! I have 2 in my front yard, one that is ~12' tall that i found laying over in a brush patch when I cleaned it up and the other just popped up this year on the edge of a raspberry thicket and is maybe 5' tall. Both will be...

just graft and top work them into submission..i now cage any I find in my upper field to get them some height so I can frankentree them! (i understand you probably have alot more than i do)

Gonna have to get you some real late awakening trees like Turning Point...it was almost 80 here on Tuesday...22 this morning. I feel your pain... thankfully my trees stayed dormant and hopefully will for at least a couple more days...more roller coaster temps coming next week....

I've got 16 total and 1 for a friend spread out over 2 weekends..gonna start easy with a 4 tree weekend by myself then gonna dive in with some help and do the remaining 12

is there really a such thing???I ts like having too much money or too much fun (but you dont need to dig a hole to plant, cage, weed mat or window screen money or fun)

you could buy 3-4 trees from BH/WC for that price....and those are known, quickly-productive varieties. ..

I had always heard that the cleth would smoke the little clover seedlings...just dont want to have to replant a dozen pounds of clover...

how about clover? that and chicory are mainly what i am planting but i did want to add some oats as a nurse crop..

Us northerners who are just contemplating frost seeding into our barren, just unfrozen, seemingly lifeless plots are all salivating over those pics….

another thought......could I till Plot 1, wait a few weeks, then spray with gly and seed the same day... and then for Plot 2...try a 1 day spray with clethodim and seed the same day...I am just wondering if the cleth would wear off enough in the time before the clover popped to not be an issue...

About quarter size or so

I know I’m in the North but I took a chance on Willis’ Eliza’s Choice and it is a monster

Haha good call..I was a chemist formerly…

tried to get 12-12-12 but all they had was 10-10-10 and 15-15-15...decided to play it safe and go with 10-10-10....i plan to spread twice but maybe more like soonish and then May

cool! I have a bunch of trees so it might take me a while...just didn't know if it would help with the warm temps coming that might start waking up a bit, especially on my early-opening pears ...i plan to do a second round later in April as well

Wanted to bump this thread and get suggestions..here in North Central PA we are supposed to get a huge warmup for several days over the weekend and into next week…(which of course will then be followed by normal, gross March weather). Do you all think it would he worth it to get my 10-10-10...

Finished up my fruit tree pruning and cut some more scion...couple dozen trees in a few days..can't wait till my kiddos can help, though about half of the trees are getting big enough (12+') a ladder is gonna be necessary next year...for now I didn't really do a great job on the higher scaffolds...

with that forecast might only have 1 shot to get seed down on top of the snow...i've also had great luck broadcasting ahead of a couple inches...i feel like the weight of the snow then the subsequent melting also helps direct the small seed down into the nooks of the soil

definitely do the window screen and also a weed mat around the trunk. I also put limestone screening on top of the weed mad so the rodents wont burrow to the roots. If you're looking for bigger trees that will produce sooner, Blue Hill and Whitetail Crabs both have crabs still in stock. You will...

so much for a long frost-seeding window...might try to get some done on this plot before the snow early next week...
