My orchards are just about full, however I have managed to find space for
2 - Olympic pears
2 - Golden Hornet on MM111
4 - Galarina from my nursery that I have grafted on MM111.
Cut back on the apples this year. Lots of shrubs and spruce coming. Still had to order some apples from Cummins.
2 ahmeads kernel
3 Redfield
10 B.118
25 M.111
Rootstocks will be planted to grow as full size trees as an experiment.
I also ordered 50 Dolgo seedlings and 100 Midwest crabapple.
Wow, Chummer, 150 crabs is cutting back? Good for you!
I have these from Cummins and I'm propagating a RM18 flat of unknown crab off our land from seed:
Three Apple - Dolgo Crab - B.118
Six Apple - Franklin - B.118
Three Apple - Virginia Crab (Hewe's) - B.118
One Pear - Hosui - OHxF 97
Two Pear - Moonglow - OHxF 87
One Pear - Shinko - OHxF 97

Looks like lots of critters are gonna be eating well in the coming years. ^^^^ Planting for the near and down the road future. Way to go boys !!! Hat's off and remote hand shake. :);) Keep 'em coming !!
As far as our winters go it has been great. We have had a lot of snow but every storm has been followed by a warm up. Lots of rain too, which is strange, has kept the snow pack down. That being said we have a long way to go. 3' last weekend and another 2-3' this week. That could send thing in the wrong direction fast. I saw some deer a couple weeks ago and they still looked fat.
I have a Sundance apple on B118 and rootstocks on order from Cummins.
From Raintree, I have 4 columnar apple varieties on mm106 and some rootstock. I previously bought these columnar varieties from Raintree but after a couple fruited this year, some appear to be mislabeled. Not happy to buy again but happy to get on a larger rootstock.
I have 100 B118's and 20 MM106 rootstocks ordered. a dozen or so different rootstocks in my stoolbed, 5 wild apple rootsuckers I dug up last summer and potted, and 60+ varieties of scion that I've bought or swapped for.
Yea I've got my addiction under control. :eek::eek::eek:

Hmm, I think your rivaling Ed's sickness level this year. I'm so overwhelmed with planting trees from the nursery to the field that I am only doing 40 bench grafts this year while doing somewhere around 20 field grafts.
8 - Northwest Greening B.118
2- Enterprise M-7
2- Liberty M-7
