    Stock Market is the bottom in?

    The next evolution of war after drones will be what was taking place in Episode 23, Season 1 of the Original Star Trek. It was called "A Taste of Armageddon." In this story, two planets wage a war entirely by computer simulation, but the “casualties” are required to report to disintegration...

    A few habitat pics I thought you might enjoy

    If you look at the next to the last picture you can see a turkey in the air flying up to roost. That is 32 yards from my deer blind. First pic is 10 yards.

    Biggest Apple tree I ever topworked

    No, it's 100% Priscilla with all of the Pearmain removed. The only Pearmain left would be below the topworking. I have done a bunch of topworking in the last two years but most of it has been Callery Pears to good pears and common persimmons to known cultivars. Those have gone great, and I'm...

    Are the glory days of deer hunting coming to a close?

    That’s what it appears to be. Looks to be very effective.

    Tips for Grafting Oaks?

    Biggest Apple tree I ever topworked

    It’s my top eating apple and the DR is excellent. I now have 4 Priscillas. The drop time is too early for deer hunting.

    Biggest Apple tree I ever topworked

    This one was a whopper, and I wasn't sure if it would work out. However, after 2 years the space is almost completely closed in, and the trees is loaded with blooms this year. This was an American Summer Pearmain, and I never ate an apple off of it for several years. I could not grow the...

    Incredible turkey hunt bobcat encounter

    I have a friend that lives in North Central KY who got attacked by a bobcat while turkey hunting. He was setting against a big tree calling with a box call, and the cat came up behind the tree - reached around and took his sunglasses completely off - leaving big scratch marks on his face. He...

    Trailcam pics

    Looks like the setting for an Alfred Hitchcock movie, but they get shy when the guns start blasting.

    First Real Sign of Spring

    We have a good crop. Second pic is Toms 10 yards from my deer blind just off the roost. Last fall I could see them in the trees when daylight came.

    Should I Prune This Tree?

    It could be on another rootstock. Dolgo doesn’t have to be on Dolgo rootstock.

    Should I Prune This Tree?

    Since it is from a rootstock, here is what I would do: 1. This year remove half of the bottom limbs below the top of the post. Make clean cuts right up against the trunk. 2. Next year remove all remaining limbs below 5 feet high. 3. Keep these lower limbs trimmed off if they try to grow...

    What are you doing for sunscald protection?

    Thanks. How often do you repeat the process, and how high do you go from the ground up the tree?
