    Heat check…land prices

    There is still wiggle room for the fed to drop rates if they think land prices will begin to collapse you will see them drop rates most likely. Inflation is bad but actual deflation is worse.

    On the hawthorn as long as the trunk snapped off and roots are intact it will likely put out ridiculous growth this year I’d likely give it a little shot of fertilizer now if you haven’t already and keep your fingers crossed.

    Best fertilizer for young grafted Apple rootstock

    If my trees don’t show at least 10”-12” of new growth I’ll throw about a cup of triple 10 or 12 per inch of trunk diameter around the tree. I try and hit the big box stores late fall or winter they will sometimes run sales on fertilizer and try and grab a few bags for stuff like this.
