Let’s have a thread of just Apple pictures! My first ever Norland. It’s still in my planter, couldn’t help but leave 1 Apple on the tree after plucking some off this spring. Waited a day or two too long and one side was a bit soft. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does anyone have Ida Red growing? I know one guy had some really nice mature trees in the past and a bunch of you grafted some, me included. Is this a late apple to wake up for everyone? My 2 year old graft is SO slow waking up, just now showing signs of life.

What are you guys using? Last year I used the black tar like sealant and that seemed to help. I got some scion from somebody that used a wax of some sort and that was the freshest and kept the best of all of them that I had recieved. Some others used a wax mix that was super sticky/messy...

Hey guys, I was asked to post this on the fruit forum too. I decided to order up some different seed to start maybe growing my own rootstock from northern hardy varieties. Does anybody have trees grafted to Renetka or Siberian crab? I know lots of people use Antonovka for rootstock grafting...

I took an evening after work to prune my friends trees. How do you think I did?

I'm ready to throw away my cheap 1 gallon pump sprayer and bonide fruit tree spray and upgrade. What are you guys using for a sprayer. I don't have a commercial orchard by any means and don't need top of the line. I have 26 trees planted right now and another 22 grafted and in either root...

Has anybody here tried this with success? I have lost three trees from Cummings from these bastards and I can tell they have affected a few of the trees I have grafted too. Do you think it would hinder a B118 trees roots later in life? I think I would make the cage bigger than shown here. I...

Hey guys, I have a new flush of grass coming up in my brassica/bean plots that I would like to get rid of. I have a 4 gallon backpack sprayer and am wondering what my mix should consist of. Right now I have liquid ams and the generic cleth. Should I get some crop oil? The acreage will be just...

While at the farm yesterday, I thought it might be a good time to mow my little clover plot. I know nothing about it. I mowed it as high as the deck would go. Questions: At what height do you mow? I left the center of the plot to hopefully reseed itself because it's really not thick in the...

I was turkey hunting on some public land last year and I stumbled across this wild Apple tree out in the middle of a prairie like setting. I decided to take a walk out there a couple of weeks ago to mark whatever wild trees I could find so that I could possibly use them for scion for grafting...

hey guys, quick question I know several if you have mentioned that you have trapped before. I have gophers all over the place where I hunt in my plots and in the orchard and am wondering specifically what a good brand/style of trap I should look into buying. I might also do some trapping in...

We have this old Brillion seeder sitting up in the pallet racking at the farm. She has been sitting there for ten years and we have used it once to seed my buddies lawn and that's it. Just wondering what you guys think it's worth? I wouldn't mind just using it as a packer and skip using it as a...

I am saying this in advance, sorry I forgot to take photos! I was just curious if those of you that grafted last spring have been out to look at your grafts yet? I planted three of my trees and buried the root trapper on the other three. I headed all of them back this evening and was...

Headed to Hurley this weekend for my buddies 30th birthday. I've heard some stories of the town....just looking for a little inside info about what I'm getting into. Any of you Wisconsin folk been there? What are my chances of leaving the town in one piece and not making a trip to the local...

I've been meaning to post one of these ever since the site started. Loved getting feedback from everyone when I posted on the "other" site. I took pictures all summer of the things I was doing, but never got around to posting. Now that I have the initial post done, hopefully I will just hop...

I decided to make a trek to my old stomping grounds and bring my brother and two friends to a pretty cool fishing spot. Everything in our neck of the woods is frozen, so to be able to fish for bass through open water with your summer rigs is just plain old fun. It hit 26 degrees on this day but...

I am simply just looking for better hunting opportunities. First question. Iowa. Is there any reasonable chance of finding some decent public ground to hunt in Iowa if you are to draw a bow tag? Obviously I would take the time to scout spots, but would it be worth earning points for a tag...

Any college Bball fans on here? Just winding down from that tough Gophers loss and having a hard time swallowing the 0-3 pill in the B1G. Just following suit of being so hard to be a MN sports fan. With that said, man that was a fun game at the Barn tonight...rough team to watch tho

just wondering if this is something that you guys are doing. I think I might just do it for the two weeks and see what my results come out to. Just looking to see if anybody else does it!?

Well I got on the board with my first deer in two years last Sunday. I have given up on rifle hunting the past two years due to the low deer numbers and wanting to save more deer on my spots. I was only chasing bucks this fall until I got an invite to hunt with my uncle on a piece of his land...
