    PA Sunday Hunting Ban is over

    Pretty happy about this! I sometimes get out in the afternoon after work to hunt on the weekdays, but it's few and far between. Can't tell you how many Saturdays in archery it's been a downpour only to have Sunday being beautiful with a nice buck walking up my driveway in the morning. I just...

    Leaf curl aphids

    In my little orchard I did alot of smashing the large clumps of them with my thumb for my own satisfaction (ended up with a green thumb), and then spraying the trees with sevin to take care of the stragglers. I'm fairly inexperienced at taking care of trees, so I'm not sure sevin is the right...

    Woodchips and Ants

    I've seen the same on my young fruit trees. Ants seem to farm the aphids. From what I've seen and read they aphids secrete a "honeydew" liquid the feeds the ants. A spraying o Sevin has done the trick for me the past 2 years.

    Later to Leaf out / later to bloom Apples.

    My two cobbler crabs are very slow leafing out compared to the rest of my trees. The canisteo is also pretty slow. These are in there 4th year on my property, and I have yet to see a blossom on them. They're good growers though, so hopefully maybe they'll burst next year

    Uncatagorized.....things we see....

    Found a den of baby red fox out behind my place this morning. Managed to slowly sneak up on them as they were playing. Got within about 5yds. I know they're nest raiders, but the little SOB's are cute.

    Please help

    I'm pretty far from an expert so take this with a grain of salt. I'd go ahead and plant them. The 2 springs I planted trees it was sopping wet. I had all of the holes (2ft diameter x 2ft deep) dug way ahead of time. The days I planted it had rained the night before, or was raining that day. Was...

    2025 pruning question

    Thank you all for the advice. Yes, many of the trees I have threw a ton of growth lower than the cage height this year and I intend to cut most of it off. I'll be honest, I've read alot of information on pruning since I planted these trees ( this site and elsewhere ) but it is still somewhat...

    2025 pruning question

    On a completely unrelated note, i also snapped a pic of this candy crab going on its 3rd season in the ground. I planted 2 of these the as 2ft whips and my mother laughed at how small they were compared to the others i planted. Well, these have honestly been the best growing trees I have for...
