Bought a few bags of WR at a local Amish store (have bought from there before with good results). A friend that I help with habitat stuff did the same and we broadcast it into some nuked fields and some fields that already had clover in them. It’s been a week and a half..with very little...

Definitely graft them. Just watch some YouTube videos on how (if I can do it it’s not that hard haha). Got one In my front yard that has 5 pear varieties on it. Will have a dozen next year.

I did the same thing..only got 4 total (1 was one of the new pricy ones)..also but a peach and a cherry for my front yard for people to eat..I’ll probably add more later if I can find or make some room for them…

This is an Interesting thread for me I have a chestnut on M7 that I planted 4 years ago. It has never had a crab make it. I even grafted a Clark’s crab from 39th parallel onto it and that is thriving. The tree is probably 12’ tall with good limbs but still waiting on that fruit!

Welp there goes all my money…

I need to do some of that next summer. HAD a little 2 year old peach with about 30 peaches in it..the one morning there were none..have also seen squirrels eating pears that are months from being ripe right out of the tree…

Took my little guy and a few cousins to my great uncle’s pond today. Couple casts with a whopper plopper on my little guy’s 2’ rod and there was a big splash. He hauled back and fought what I thought was just a real big bass to the bank. Turns out it was 2 bass on the same lure on the same cast...

This could be titled “A Food Plotter’s Haiku”

I think they will be implementing it this fall as it goes into effect on September 7. Pretty excited about this one..my brother has been keeping an eye on this for a long time (even joining some anti-Sunday hunting Facebook groups to troll them) and said the first comment on the group said...

Good call on that one! Should I keep some of them as like “nurse” branches or do you think it’s ok to cut them all off once I have the grafts done? I’m totally ok with cutting them all just don’t want to kill the tree.

Thankfully we killed the poison ivy but the vine was about as big around as my wrist, so it definitely harmed the tree. Want to utilize what has to be a huge root system to help get those grafts cranking out.

Here’s another one, a Red Delicious grafted o to an indeterminate mature apple in my front yard, just opened this weekend!

I admit it, I might have a grafting problem. My thought is to cut the Bradford pear (picture 1) and some other indeterminate species of pear (picture 2 and 3) which doesn’t produce well and has been stunted by a monster poison ivy vine) off at about chest level so they start throwing water...

Preach it! And if there is no stirring of emotion or eminent desire to head out in the wilderness there..I would have significant questions.
