So, Cuddelink is my only choice?

Is there a trailcam that allows you to access the images from 100-150 yards away? I don‘t want to go through the bedding area to download the pics. I don’t need the cell plan as I am on the property all the time anyways. Thanks for the help!

I just ordered some rootstock. Does anyone have the red-fleshed apple varieties they can share?

Roots can develop above the graft at any time there is enough moisture for roots to grow. If the roots from above the graft take, eventually you will have the makings of a full size tree and no rootstock.

If above the graft union roots, then you will get a full-sized treen you will not get any benefits of the rootstock.

The whole purpose of buying a grafted tree is so you have the disease resistants and get the height desired. Otherwise, you might as well just graft onto any wild apple/crabapple seeding and just bury the graft.

I am trimming this weekend. Does anyone else want any scions? If anyone is close enough to me, you can come get as many plum trees 2 years old as you wish. All are between 9’ and 12’. Varieties are Burbank and Bubblegum.

I’m going to cut the scions this coming week pm me your address.

I can give you all the Bosc you want.

I just checked my apples and it is time to start bud grafting. Anybody have some crabapple varieties?

I have been growing pumpkins for years in my food plot. As others have said, the deer do not touch them much while they are growing. Youll see teeth marks scratch the surface of a few as the deer are trying to determine if they are ripe or not. The following is what I have learned over the years...
