    New to grafting

    Wow, that was very helpful and a great explanation of difference of cleft and bark graft. I guess I was proposing cleft grafting since my trees are all next to each other and I don't want to mess with storing scions unless I need to.

    New to grafting

    We have some mature wild pears (I call them sand pears) and some younger store bought pears (mostly Ayers) that need pruning. I'm going to try my hand at grafting some trimmings from the store bought trees onto the wild pears this spring and just started reading tutorials. Is it necessary to...

    DCO acorns

    If Troy and Sabine are out of stock just offer a trade request here or the other site. Anyone ordering a pound or more of seed likely has more than they can use.

    Best way to deal with tent catapillers?

    Peach tree suggestion

    I'm looking to plant a couple of peach trees ( for me...not the deer). I'm just beginning to research this and looking for suggestions on good varieties and disease resistance. They will be planted in SE Indiana. Thanks.

    No enterprise trees? I am interested in anything that is CAR-proof and may have to look into a few of those varieties to see if they would work noth of you.

    LC's mix

    I have always used LCs fertilizer recommendation for the brassica mix but went a little light on N to save a few bucks....regretted it and could tell the brassicas lacked N. I disc the fertilizer in before seeding and packing. My coop is telling me I would be better off to disc in 12-12-12 then...

    ayers pear

    No offense taken...good common sense response...I saved on the trees so I might as well spend a bit to keep them in good shape. I just wrapped them up and ready for transport. Thanks.

    ayers pear

    Thanks. I would definitely loose most leaves at that speed. Do you think it would kill them or just set them back if I dont wrap them?
