How old are your NWC trees, and did any drop during hunting season ? in November- mid Dec
They were planted in 2017. There is a NWC 10 Point planted in between these two that has completely dropped except for a handful of mummies. Since I didn't take any pictures of these trees earlier in the season and I do not visit them often, it's tough to say how much of the Droptine and 30-06 have fallen that wasn't shook off. I'd venture to guess at this point they've dropped less than 20%. This has been a very mild fall for us however with first frost coming about a month later than normal.
When a walked up to these trees the other day, there was 1 Droptine on the ground...the first I've ever seen on the ground that fell naturally. So, they are dropping a little on their own.
Last year the 30-06 was completely bare by this time of year, the year before some fruit held into January. Droptine always has quite a bit persisting when it leafs out in the spring.
