The first fruit trees I planted in the yard after moving to VA 21 years ago, probably purchased at Lowes. I'm aware they could use a good pruning. Regardless , from June to October the deer come up every evening before dark looking for the apples that trickle off. Their still some hanging...

I Noticed this on DR Deer's Facebook page. The first picture with the roots is supposedly how another Nursery ships trees and "how you don't want to get your trees". The leafed out trees in the box is supposedly the correct way that Dr Deer's partner Wildtree ships. I'm far from an...

It seems every year here in VA we get warm weather starting in Feb , and now on March 10 th my pears are about to blossom out . Monday Morning it's forecasted to get down to 30 degrees at 6 am and 32 degrees at 7 am , and rise up to 60 by the end of the day. If this forecast is correct ...

I've bought trees from several Mail order nurseries before ,and this is the first tree I've ever received a tree pruned back this far. This is a pear tree pruned to a little over 5 foot, and the diameter at the tip is about the size of my ring finger. Maybe I'm over thinking it , but Is...

I live in central Virginia and have a order of trees scheduled to ship out tomorrow 2/11 from The Wildlife Group in Alabama. They suggested I have the trees shipped in Feb, all the other places I've ordered from in PA like Blue Hill and Whitetail Crabs shipped to me in March or early April...

I have a 8 foot tall Whitetail Crabs Rut Rage pear tree planted this spring (2023) . I plan on pruning it sometime in Jan/Feb . Will I be okay to cut the two branches off I have marked in blue and turn it into a central leader, or would that be too much stress ?. Thanks for any info

The Nativ Nurseries "wild deer pear" was the first fruit tree that I ordered online and planted in my plot. I planted 5 of them them in 2019 along with two Dr Deer pears from Walmart and a Moonglow and a couple of Kieffer pears from Lowes. This spring was the first year all my pear trees were...

Just wanted to get your thoughts on this....I live in Virginia and found an online nursery in the north that has some interesting crabs and I was thinking of trying 3 or 4 . However this place is 18 hours away and 1,200 miles. The trees they are selling are rated for my zone, however do you...

Sawtooth oak seedlings were the first trees I order by mail from the state about 15 years ago. These three trees were planted at random on a field edge...I have since had approximately an acre cleared of junk trees behind these trees to plant my crabs and pears plot . The Sawtooths typically...

I believe this is a Piebald deer , unless it's just the sun hitting it or camera issue. If So it's the first one I ever got on camera. 10-15 years ago I saw a almost solid white buck cross the road I live on 8-9 miles away, maybe it's genetics made it up my way.

Looks like WhitetailCrabs is shaking things up and adding 11 new varieties for 2024 !. It still says "Sold Out" at the moment , BUT they should be available to purchase any day now. They also have a new pricing structure ( Like Blue Hill ) Fruit tree prices range from $12 to $28.95 And they have...

Just an update , not sure if this has been mentioned before. I have 3 Whitetail Crabs "Droptines" that were planted in 2020 and 2021 and they all have a lot of CAR on the leaves. My 30 06 and Crossbow's leaves are clean. I do have 2 Cedars maybe 30-40 yards from the plot...I hope to cut them...

I'll be the first to admit , my tree plot isn't in an ideal spot. Its on the side of a slope and along the bottom of a slope. I did that so it's hidden out of sight from the neighboring properties and backs up to my biggest parcel of woods , maybe 10 acres. Every year the farmer that cuts my hay...

I was talking to someone on here earlier in the year about the drop times of my Granny Smith Apples in Virginia zone 7 . I said I would let them know when it starts this year, but I forgot who it was. Just like I thought it might be , it's the first week of June. Mind you the apples falling now...

Back in late Feb I planted 7 Nutall oak seedlings from Bolu Tree nursery . I had 5 old tree tubes laying around , so I used them and for the other trees I made makeshift fences with chicken wire. I hadn't seen any buds or signs of life and I thought they might have been duds....BUT yesterday...

I bought two Chestnut Hill Outdoors potted "Dr Deer pears" at Walmart back in 2019 . They have been excellent growers and were loaded with blossoms this spring....unfortunately they got hit with frost the last 2 years and killed all the blossoms. Most likely It's the location I planted all my...

I planted a couple Apple trees out of my order in My Fathers front yard . He normally plant's potted trees from Lowes, I have to admit all the potted trees he picked out have nice straight trunks and have grown well.. He's complaining about how this Liberty apple tree "bows out" . I see what...

I have to say Whitetail Crabs uses the largest box I've ever seen for shipping trees , 83 Inches !. I ordered 1 Liberty Apple , 2 Enterprise Apples , 1 Crossbow crab and 2 Rut Rage pears. The trees arrived late Friday.... I just took them out of the box today to make sure the roots were moist...
