It’s gone for me with a couple mowings, overseed in fall with rye and more clover, mow the following May and it’s not an issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This was another failure, a tree with wonderful scaffolds but a gross mealy apple. I plugged 6 different varieties into it this spring and they all took. I’ll add more next year and probably the top of the tree too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This was a junk pear from stark that always got fireblight. So in 2022 I topped it over to Gallaway. I initially left a nurse branch which was removed the next year. Today it has pears for the first time. 10 year old kid for reference. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have one cherry that gets completely defoliated by jap beetles every year. Birds get the few fruit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

^yeah when mom is away, I grill some sort of meat, normally deer burger or steak, side of milk and Tostitoes. Maybe panfry an egg to go with it. No rabbit food on my watch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry to hear about your situation. All you can control is you, be a good father to your kids. But never be a doormat for anyone. I’d say get divorced and live your life on your terms; we don’t live long enough for regrets, but men live and can grind hard enough to redeem themselves. Tell your...

I got some of those cheap walmart dunstans, watered at home in pots over the summer, and then fall planted two years ago. They are still alive, but haven’t done much. A few bareroot chinese have done a bit better, but neither have done great in my heavy clay. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any dead standing trees around? I have girdled several around my orchard and they make great raptor perches which keep the squirrels honest. The coons are a different matter Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Absolutely nothing will be done about this, just like nothing will be done about those withholding information on Biden’s cancer that has been present (and hidden) for years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I believe Biden does not recall anyone telling him he has cancer before 2 days ago Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m paying 10-12/tree. ~$5 for rootstock, ~$5 for scion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I remember hearing the same, planted my freedom and it has been a wimpy, leaning tree. It’s on an unknown stark rootstock, so I’ve considered grafting it onto something else to see how it does. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is a great thread. 2+ years on, Enterprise and Liberty are still the winners. Goldrush is a delicious, late dropper, but after bearing heavily last year, it is taking this year off, so it can’t be top 3. I have recently planted yates, sundance and grafted wickson and galarina this year...
