They are all EFB resistant. I couldn't tell from the website if they are grafts or seedlings, but I think it would be fair to assume that they are grafted plants based on the cultivars advertised. I wouldn't be as concerned about EFB.

I grow about 100 hazelnuts out from seed each year. I mostly grow commercial varieties that I purchase the seed for online. The seeds are not true to the parents, so you don't know for sure if you are getting a 'Jefferson' or a 'Theta' or one of those mixed with something else or a wildtype...

I'm also really intrigued by the hazelnuts. Both the Eta and Theta are great pollinizers for other commercial varieties.

My money would be on they initially updated the website and got distracted with inventory/harvest. Every year there is some debate about when the tree inventory will be updated and orders taken. I would just hang tight and see what else gets added. I have order confirmations on September 14th...

Order them anyways. There have only been a few that were listed as sold out that I didn't end up getting at least some. I think they somewhat conservative in their estimates for tree numbers in their gravel beds, and once they know officially how many orders there are and the remaining stock...

It should be the opposite. Trump hasn't earned anything and actually campaigned on doing the opposite and is now the one trying to squash this. Why do that? Epstein claimed in multiple interviews that Trump was his closest friend. Trump ran beauty pageants, some of which included minors. He...

Ours is 69 HP and it tolerates the drill. I would be worried about a 55 HP with the 6.5 footer, especially if you have to add weight for better penetration (which we have to for relatively great soil). I definitely think it is worth it. You save some money on using less seed, and you definitely...

Didn't she just get transfered to a minimum security prison and is now eligible for work release? Who's justice department facilitated that? Also, the whole reason all of this has blown up recently is because some of her court documents were unsealed because of another trial. I hate saying...

Link to the tweet that is (respectably) still posted:

"Why don't you have some of this fine pie the missus made for you?"

These are photos I took this week on a trail in MN. I've never seen so many plums that they were bending trees over. Seems like most would be dropping in the next week or two.

Has there ever been any whistle blowers to come from the insurance industry confirming this? One of the largest auto manufacturers in the country is from the heart of deer country. I can't imagine there aren't people that work for State Farm that don't also deer hunt. I see this posted all the...

I've had better luck with rye than wheat top sown. Coincidentally, I just overseeded some thin areas of a perennial plot with ladino and crimson clover this past Sunday. I also had some alfalfa and chicory in the mix to match what was drilled in May.

Am I crazy or have forecasts been less reliable lately? We weren't supposed to get rain until Sunday/Monday in MO and it started raining Saturday afternoon (less than a 0.1, but I am not a choosing beggar). There were also a few fronts in August that were 100% that never hit. Dawgs, for what...

When do the bare root seedlings from Kansas Forest Service go on sale? I placed an order with MDC this morning but a few things are sold out already. I put in the order anyways (and they normally can fulfill these early orders), but I want to get more persimmon if I can.
