A lighter year for the Warren's crab.

This is the trees near my old house. I go past them going to work everyday. Pics were from today. Top pic is tree next to the main one I've been eyeing a few years. Trees seem similar. Apples are very firm and hanging well. They taste like regular apples, not bitter at all. Kinda like a...

Nice spread there. All my efforts so far with new apples. One Franklin cider, 2 freedoms the yellow jackets got, (4) little cherry sized 30-06's, and one cherry sized kerr I top worked on droptine this year. Trees at the farmland I have not seen yet. Hoping to this weekend, opening rifle in...

I spent a few days looking at the whole 95 page thread here. You mention using B118 bareroots as seedlings for pl ain jane orchard trees on the cheap. Still feel its a good idea? Wild Azz and clowns nose, still like those trees? Looking to focus on october and november dropping trees for...

General rule of thunmb is to prune back 1/3 of the growth. This description is pretty good. I think he redid his pruning page. I thought you need to prune back till you get a downward point bud. Might still be the case. He added remove downward point branches. Thought a bit was ok, might...

Nice pics. I tend to prefer non red apples too. Some insects are atttracted to the color. I Will see in the near future, but yellow jacket issues should be lower too.

Another shift at the doe factory. 2 babies and no mom around. Backyard foodplot 30 yards away.

Dependingon how fresh, you might be able to trim the limb and seal it back together with grafting tape and some wire and electrical tape. I do that with branches I train too hard. You'll eventually loose the limb, but save the trunk for a big dead spot. IF not, seal it up now with what you...

That sucks. I think 2 or 3 will survive that damage though. I'd clean them up and seal the wounds. I use doc Farrell's heal n seal. LAtex paint with permetherin in the paint. Keeps bugs from attacking the weak spot.

Nice big wheeled one. Give it a test drive this fall. It might need a weight box on top with your soil. Could make something with 2x4's, no welded needed.

Thought you had an old soccer field filled with wild pears

Satriale's pear......... Check it out, could be calley's cure. Gottoa go through alot of rocks to find a nugget. How's Pele's pear field going telemark?

Might want to carpet the floor, get the wobble out of the stand if any, and oil up anything moving on chairs. Noise can be a problem too. Sometimes having a rest for your feet good helps keep older folks calmer. Keeps the back of the knees from pinching the seat and keep the muscles looser...

Need a zoom out of the area and tell us what you know about the neighbors. That woods can be close to useless if theres alot of activity near it. Check out you local soil and water district. Need some privacy planting from the raod and backyard. Not sure about TN. But a row of srpuce and a...

Some house need more heat to kee stuff from freezing. Sometimes leaving the basement door or bathroom doors helps you out. Unless the house is sealed up really well, probably dont need to worry about mold. I know some snowbirds shut off their water and drain it. But, still keep their house...

Most areas of the US the apple trees are in dormancy. If the other trees near it are resistant, you might be able to save the tree. let it live for a year then topwork to something else possibly. Prune out the dead stuff until the bark looks good. Seal the cuts. Spray copper based...

Extractor needs replacing? Not are rare marlin thing. You crimp the cases?

How's your trees doing CrazyEd? Mineare young, but many got 3 to almost 4 feet of growth on them. Soil is rich, but I put 2 doses of lime out there for them this year. 1/2 ton in the sping and a 1/2 ton around labor day.

Jst planted it this year. Pretty sure that one is on anty. Got atleast a 5-7 year wait probably. 1st year or two of fruit won't be typical.

Take a few pears and put it on top of something like a piece of plywood. Get a good idea if the deer like it. Good place to put a trail camera out too. wild pears get huge, the cedars might be a little bedding spot for a doe and her family.
