I forgot all about ordering until the thread popped up. It was late afternoon and when I jumped on the site everything said sold out. I said oh well this one is on me, I will have to wait until next year. As I was driving home, another thread response popped up saying trees were available. I...

I was just thinking about this same topic over the weekend. I am just getting started with the bow season and was out four days last week. I hunted the same blind and three of the four times that I hunted, deer blew as I was leaving my blind. The last time that I hunted, Saturday evening, I...

Fourth year is the charm! I usually wake up about five in the morning and I checked the site on a whim and saw that it was open for business. I was able to order two sweet advent pear, a turning point and an August apricot! Even then the persimmons that I wanted were already gone along with the...

I have a small amount of: Seckel Orient Kieffer Wolf river apple I also have Ayers and Niitaka pear but they are on the thin side. I am looking for candy crab or sweet advent pear from Blue Hill. I am willing to purchase if not interested in any of the varieties listed above.

I am in the same boat as Teeder, third year that I have missed out. I checked the site several times today but apparently it was not to be, again.

Thanks for the website, I actually purchased several trees from there and planted the trees right where I want them in relation to my stands. I am hopeful that once all of the trees that I have planted and grafted start producing they will provide a reliable wildlife draw along with my apple...

Thanks, that’s what I want to hear. I have read or been told that Barbra’s blush and Morris Burton don’t fall off the tree very easily so I was becoming concerned about some of the other that I have planted. I would probably still plant them anyway but I would locate them in different areas so...

I planted many persimmons about five years ago but found that the deer kept the growth down until I either caged or put a tree shelter around them. I have been grafting to these for the last two years and have grafted the following: Yates, prok, deer candy, deer magnet, Lehman’s delight, Jon’s...

I am late but looking for a couple sticks of Kerr or some direction on where I might still find some available. I have mainly pear but would be willing to buy, thanks.

I sent you a PM!

I am an hour north of Dallas and grafted a male persimmon to Yates on March 29. After I did it, realized that I was probably way too early. I watched it and hoped that it would wake up as most of my grafts typically respond in 17-20 days. After several weeks and no signs of life, I thought it...

I am by no means an expert on tree issues but I can say from my limited fruit tree experience that I have noticed that my apples and pears trees seem to alternate from having a good year to barely producing. In fact, two of my apple trees which produced last year blossomed like crazy this year...

That looks painful, sorry about the blood loss. I have only grafted a few persimmon and pear and have always used a bark graft. Not sure how it compares to the other types of grafting options out there but I know it works for me. I will be grafting some apple and a lot more persimmon in the next...

I shot my first turkey with a bow when I was living up in South Dakota, a Merriam’s by hiding behind a tree and drawing when the bird walked in front of the tree towards my decoy on the other side. I have also taken eastern birds when living in Missouri. The majority of birds that I have taken...

I don’t recall the exact number but have taken 4-5 turkey with a bow. The first time was without a pop up blind but for the rest, I have used a blind. A friend once told me that pop ups should be illegal for turkey hunting because you can get the bird to come in right where you want him. If you...
