I have a red anjou pear tree that bloomed out weeks ago, maybe even a month. It has fruit on it the size of a dime. I took a ride in back and it has flowers on these long stems. Is this normal? What is going on with this tree?

I have this weird object on my camera. It is in two of the pictures and is moving. This is in far Northern WI and I don't believe that there is any insects out yet. What do you think it could be?

Anybody know what would happen if I planted spring tritacale in the fall. Will it grow ok for a fall plot? Not comeback again in the spring?I really wanted to do a August planting of 4010 peas and tritacale, but I just noticed it just says tritacale ( not winter) and suggest to plant it in the...

I've been reading alot of the benefits of sulfur. I think I'm going to try to add some this year. I don't know if I can get kmag around me. I found some 90% pelitized sulfur pellets online. Would these work good or should I try to get ammonium sulfate or even just add a bunch of gypsum? I...

A couple years ago I ordered some antovonka and regents crabs. My plan was to plant them on my property 5hrs away. I temporarily planted them in my garden at home.I wasn't able to get them up there before they all leafed out. The same plan for this year fell thru again. Now these tress are huge...

A few years ago a friend pointed out a wild apple tree with about 6 apples on it. I was thrilled, I had no idea I had any wild ones. I have been planting a few grafted tree for about 10 years now and it's been somewhat of a struggle. It seems I find a few more wild apples every year now and have...

I have had my property a little over 20 years. It was a old abandoned farm with about 50 acres of woods. 30 acres of way overgrown pastures (I'm guessing it wasn't farmed atleast 20 years prior to me buying it. The last 5 or so years I have found 7 decent sized wild apple trees buried in the...

After logging 7 years ago the hazelnut in my woods exploded. They are everywhere but I have only seen nuts on one tree ever and this was before the logging. Any thoughts why there are no nuts?. I have to think they must of regenerated from the roots like aspen or alder and not any nuts. I...

Has anyone tried cutting buckthorn and spraying stumps with torodon or triclopyr 4 during the winter. Will this work this time of year? I thinking about doing this in a week or two before the forestery mulcher runs through there. Is it a waste of time or should I just wait till it sprouts up...

Anybody have a idea?

I wasn't able to get up to my land since July. I finally made it up and over seeded my beans and also lightly disked and seeded some rye. This is in NW Wisconsin. Do you think this rye will grow enough to make it thru winter? Was it a waste of time planting it this late this far north?

I bought a few antovonka seedlings a while back (6 -7 )years ago. I'm downright impressed with these trees. They seem to grow fast and seem to be tough. The trunk and branches are just solid compared to alot of my other apples. They are supposed to grow huge( which is good in bear country). Also...

Just wondering has anybody actually noticed a deer preferring one apple type over another if they drop at the same time. It seems to me they will scarf down what ever apple or crab is there.

Just wanted to put up a few pics of my plum trees and how fast they are spreading and growing for anyone that might be thinking about planting some. You can see the mother trees in the back, all the light green trees and sticks are root suckers that have shot off the row of the 7 original...

I know it best to transplant trees when they are dormant, but having property 5hrs away and different zones is tuff. I have some renteeka crab, antovonka apple, and a pear that I want to dig out of garden and transplant on northern property. Will they be ok if the have started leafing out and I...

Just came back from our land. There was a bad rain, freezing rain, then heavy snow storm around the new year. This pic is my logging road with my 7 year old aspen bent over horizontal over the trail. They were doing so good. Anybody know if these trees have a chance to recover? Will they...

I'm pretty sure this is a wolf. I haven't had a picture of a deer in 9 days after getting a pic off deer almost everyday. I've had my property almost 20 years and have had many pictures of coyote but never a wolf. I did see one a few years ago while bowhunting.

When I logged 7 years ago my forester mentioned that I would be a perfect candidate for a grant to shear my upland mature tag alder to benefit grouse, woodcock, and songbirds. I just started the ball rolling and hope to get it done next winter. I was a little hesitant because I have a lot of...

I have 4 30 year old apple trees in my yard. The last couple years they have been getting black and bark look like it is dying out. Anybody know why? Is there something I can spray or do to cure this. The branches look like they are dying but there is new growth coming out of them all over.

How do clay peas match up to soybeans. Browse tolerance, deer preference, fertilizer requirements, etc. Also would they work in NW WI if just looking for a summer food?
