I have son of cal, and just about every other popular wildlife tree, drop me a reminder at the end of February or so and i can get you scions

They are always one of my last to leaf out, you should be fine

Plums are one of my favorite shrubs of the many I have planted. I have them in different scenarios, some in a very low spot that will hold a foot or more of water every other spring or so after heavy rains. Most of those are struggling. I have some about three feet higher along the edge of...

I am surrounded by open ag in southern Michigan and created 15 acres of solid cover. Several thousand spruce and shrubs and that area is now a magnet for all wildlife. Best thing for hunting and observing wildlife we could have done in my opinion. I had lofty expectations when I convinced my...

I have one on antonovka, planted in 2015. It has fruited heavily every year since 2018. Mine was Planted at the same time as a freedom, winter wildlife crab, all winter hangover, and violis. The kerr and all winter hangover are the smallest tree probably between 12-15ft, while the others are...

I need to get better at taking photos and documenting all of this. But no, I believe the Kerr is much brighter and I have only tasted 1 or 2 violis, and honestly can’t really remember the details of what it tasted like. I do remember it tasted fine it just wasn’t anything I would go out of my...

I would say the violis are very similar in size to Kerr, but so far the violis seem to have a longer drop starting late October and my tree even had several in late February. You can take my info with a grain of salt as my oldest fruit trees were planted in 2014. I have close to 200 planted...

I have one planted in 2016 in a less than ideal place, sort of lower frost pocket. It has grown pretty well, not as good as my wwc or violis planted at the same time. Those were planted in an ideal spot though. My sherry set 20 or so apples last year and near the end of October most of all of...

I am moving some from nursery this weekend, I’ve done it in the past around this time frame with no Ill effects

I received mine early last week, very large trees and looked to be in great health

Mortensen I can send you freedom and Yates in exchange for florina

I agree with h2ofwler, I am in southern Michigan as well and have transplanted and/or planted many trees this time of year and have had very good luck. I would do it now, as long as the air pockets are eliminated I don't see any disadvantages

I called them a few weeks ago and left a message. They returned my call about a week later and said they had all of their whitetail selection apples and crabs available except for crossbow for this spring. I still haven't been able to talk to them and get anything ordered though.

I'm with bowsnbucks, on my ground my previous trees from sln have out grown almost all others. My 4th leaf all winter hangover, winter wildlife crab, violis, and freedom are all well over 12 ft and all either had several blossoms or significant fruit last year (frost knocked off a couple). It...

I can get you some honey crisp, how much do you need?
