I have been topworking wild pears for a few years here, we have an overload of them in a 10 acre patch I would guess there are 60 to 80 trees. They are not callery pears but possibly crosses. The deer love them, but unfortunately most are gone by bow season, so I have been grafting some over to...

While putting some window screen on some trees today, I noticed one out of three bud grafts that I did on this tree in August '17 still looks alive, and scratch test shows green, why didn't this bud grow? The other two failed as well, but just look like a scar on the tree. Sent from my...

I notice a lot of the BOB brassica mixes have sugar beets in them, how much growth do they get when late summer planted? How are late planted beets utilized compared to turnips and radishes? Are beets cold hardy like a turnip, I never plan on growing full season sugar beets, just wondering if...

I collected some chestnuts today from one of my sportsman's clubs trees. They are just starting to fall, I would like to direct sow them into raised beds and have bareroot trees next fall or the following spring. I tried this past season, and failed miserably, I only sprouted two trees, I had...

This is a pear tree in my dad's yard in Iowa, I had him send me scion to Pa two years ago and have topworked several trees and grafted some to seedlings. He says it is loaded like this every year? Kieffer? He took these pictures for me Sunday. Sent from my SM-G892U using Tapatalk
