    Is this apple scab?

    See pictures, is this apple scab that is affecting this chestnut crabapple? 2 years in a row of early defoliation in late summer. There’s also a very minor amount of this on adjacent trees which are predominantly scab resistant. I’m going to hit it with captan early on next year.

    Apple pest question

    I have some trees around the 5 yr mark now and a few of them start off with a lot of apples but it seems like some kind of insect hits the apples really early when they are starting to grow and by the time the apples should ripen there aren’t any left on the tree, and most are gone long before...

    Gas station crab

    There’s a crabapple beside a local gas station and it looks awesome. Any idea what it could be? It’s pretty nice for a no spray situation.

    Pear growth question

    I’m relatively new to pears. I planted one last year in a spot that was too wet, and before it died I transplanted it middle of the growing season. It survived and pushed out several new leaves towards the fall. Fast forward to this year and the thing has grown straight up almost 9 feet tall...

    How big do you like your trees to be before you remove the cage? I’m dealing with deer around here, no bears.

    Good source for crabs + lots of others

    Seems this local nursery in PA is really picking up steam for us wildlife guys. Lots of great options for the future. Figured I’d share with you guys. He’s got some nice wild crabs he grafted over too. Says he’s working on a website. Starts taking orders in August for spring shipping

    Replacing a goldrush

    I planted a few goldrush this spring and although they grew pretty decent it’s obvious I’m going to be fighting CAR around here pretty bad. I’m going to keep one around but I’m wanting to replace the one pictured below. I was going to dig it up and take it somewhere else but now I’m thinking...

    Need a grafting knife

    Being close to Christmas and all I think I’ll buy myself a grafting knife. I’ve found some online but having never grafted before I figured I’d ask you all for any recommendations prior to ordering something.

    Pruning after year one of growth for trees that were headed for shipping

    Sometimes these trees you have shipped that were cut back like to throw up a lot of vertical limbs at the cut. How would you proceed in pruning/training these limbs after the first year of growth?

    Transplanting a Kerr on ant (updated trunk pics)

    I have a Kerr tree I’m going to dig up at some point this winter or next early spring and move to my yard. Hard to tell by the pictures but should I prune it back pretty good?
