Hey Charles what are you useing to stamp those aluminum name tags?

Haha damn that one doe must have been riding pretty low after 45 pears!!

Good to know, thanks I am guessing WTC are not grafted? Ive read hazelnuts can have a really bad problem with eastern filbert blight, so I wanted to make sure I had a resistant variety.

Yea it seems like a plant that can offer some cover with being multi-stem as well as the nuts. Will update if I get an e-mail back, but i think I would have gotten a response by now.

Not sure, I was hoping to put an order in too and try out some of his hazelnuts. I sent an email last week asking if more inventory will be added..... but no response.

Thanks for sharing the photos, beautiful collection you have there!

An old pond liner has been my favorite addition this spring, it’s been the hot spot all summer, property can be wet in the fall and spring but swampy areas dry out in the summer. Should be interesting to see how it performs this fall I have since planted clover surrounding it.

I haven’t tried my luck at grafting yet, I purchased some from Morse nursery and some from blue hill, with both suppliers the tops dies and the rootstock has sprouted.

Thoughts on persimmon graft failure? I’m 45/45 with my apples and pears but 1/15 with persimmon. Most have sprouted back from the root stock though. USDA zone 6a however we are at a very high elevation. Pretty sure its the cold as I’ve had some going into 3rd growing season not make it through...

Yea that’s what I was afraid of, hopefully it wasn’t a lemon

Do any of you guys have any experience with a mature sonofcal crabapple? I planted a few last year and it appears blue hill is no longer offering it for sale any more on their website.

If it’s not grafted, what are the chances it will have the drop characteristics of the parent tree though?

I was looking at those for a while, but then when I found out they are not grafted and hoping for proper pollination I became skeptical.

Wow that photo needs to be bluehills website photo, what a stud tree!

How is your success rate with 10’ tall trees? I’ve only done young ones under the impression you’ll get more roots for the size, which would result in a better success rate.
