Plant Miller and Deer Magnet. They will cover October and November for you in KY.

Unfortunately, my Black Oxford went down in the severe storm we had two years ago. I tried setting it back up and bracing it, but with the heat of the hot summer and drought it didn't survive. Since that time I have only planted some Blue Hill trees and haven't replaced it. Perhaps in the...

That’s sad, and I hear that same thing from several people.

I sometimes wonder how we have any turkeys. We don’t have very many here like we used to.

That's a good looking Job. I'm also planting and caging RODs now. My intent is to get them established well in the cages and then move the cages to new locations. If the birds will help, that will be good too. The birds single handedly have got arrowwood virbunums planted everywhere for me...

I make them the same size as for apples - about 3 feet diameter or maybe a little smaller. Normally a deer won't browse or rub a persimmon tree, but if one is out in the open, it's best not to take any chances. If a fruit tree is planted within 15 inches or so from a barbed wire fence line, I...

I was walking by one of my native female persimmons recently and noticed two nice root sprouts about knee high coming out of the ground about 10 feet out from the main tree. I took a shovel and dug both sprouts with big root balls and transplanted them to new locations. I had a cage handy for...

I tried looking on gun broker for you but didn't see much. There were only two, and they had rifled barrels.

Somebody thought so,

Yes, that is Priscilla without any spraying.

Good luck

I'm still hoping you will try a Sundance and Priscilla down there.

I’m glad I can get good fruit without spraying. If I had to spray this pear tree I would need a helicopter. It is 44 feet tall and 32 feet wide.

If you aren't getting a decent rain every 10 days or so, I feel that new trees need to be watered their first year during summer. I might even water some in the second year if there was an extended drought that lasted for weeks upon weeks. However, after that I feel that most fruit trees...

At my farm this year, I have an incredible crop of pears on the high ground, with only a couple of trees up there getting bit badly. However, in the low spot I have 5 different varieties, and I can only find fruit on one of them - and that tree is not very loaded. The other 4 varieties look...

I would read them, but I'm afraid my doe factory would find out and leave me! 🚌 🦌

I have several persimmon trees in my low, frost pocket areas, and so far I can’t recall them completely failing to fruit. However, that is where the pears get hit frequently. The bloom time for apples / crabapples will always be somewhere between pears and persimmons, and the crop failure rate...

I love both pears and persimmons, but pears do get freeze damage often while persimmons seldom do. Both pics below were taken today and illustrate why this is. Pears are already dime sized and persimmons haven’t even leaved out yet. PS - I have a tremendous pear crop this year despite a few...

I've been well aware for a long time of how tech heavy the S&P 500 is. I didn't need anyone to "explain" that to me. My concern was not being in tech, because I desire to be heavily invested in tech. My concern was having too many eggs in only one tech stock - especially one that has shot to...
