Nice recap from Bill Winke on what he saw this year from his wild apple trees and how the deer attraction was. TLDW; Plant more fruit trees ;)

Well, where can I get my hands on one of these trees or better yet Scion wood?! https://mnhardy.umn.edu/kudos

Curious to hear your thoughts on how I should plant out my next 150 or so apple trees over the next 2+ years. I've got an open field that is like 400 yds long West/East by 50 yds deep North/South. I can plant these trees in a solid block evenly spaced at say 24'x24' spacing on the Eastern side...

Anybody have any insider intel as to when Cummins new web store will be live and functional? It’s said ‘coming soon’ for like 4 months now.

Noticed some leaves turning brown on my honey crisp tree in my backyard. Took a closer look and it was covered in jap beetles. Gave them a dose of Imidan tonight to put them to sleep. Never had them before.

Post them pictures in the thread on how your fruit set is looking so far! I’ll be back to my piece of paradise over the 4th so not sure how mine even look.

So does anyone have experience with Honey Gold Apple trees for deer? Sure seems like an excellent choice based on what I just saw. It’s a UofMN variety and very cold hardy. Late September ripe time BUT it’s a late hanger! Just saw a honey gold tree absolutely loaded with apples yet today. This...

Just going to throw this out there that I’ll be purchasing 100 of B118 rootstock from Copenhaven farms for spring 2020 delivery. If you are near west central Wisconsin and would like to piggy back on my order to avoid the $50 shipping/handling let me know and we can chat. Or I’d be willing to...

I’m going to buy B118 rootstock for next year and want to know what size I should buy? I can do 1/8”, 3/16”, 1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2”. I was going to just go down the middle and specify 1/4” unless someone here has better luck with larger? Plan to do the whip and tongue method with existing scion on...

Only tree out of roughly 100 that got gnawed on this winter which I am thankful for. This is a Crimson Topaz Apple tree. Think it wakes up this spring?

Hope the fruit trees survive!

Found this on a centennial crab tree today. Just a light white material on some limbs of the tree.

Just giving a heads up.

Quick question for you all. I noticed on all of my Liberty trees I planted last year put on some weird growth as far as limbs go. Every one had like a sucker or 2 for limbs that grew towards base of tree and straight up several feet. There were no scaffold limbs. I cut the sucker like branches...

So for the people that have a 3 x 3 or 4 x 4 weed fabric laid down around their fruit trees, do you still just sprinkle the fertilizer on top of that around your trees? I’m just imagining the fertilizer all funnels down to the opening of the weed fabric by the trunk of the tree over time, does...

On clearance for some reason for $52.50 a roll. Same size as the Me area roll 5’ x 150’.

Where is the best place to buy Imidan? Not finding it online - some new regulation makes it so it has to ship Haz Mat now at additional costs.

So I planted some apple and pear trees last spring. What is the suggested pruning practice heading into their 2nd year in the ground? I’m just thinking I try to train branches outward, cut the suckers off, prune the base of the trunk of leaves that have grown behind the window screen, make...

Planted some sort of LabLab mix and I think I just grew weeds.
