This is the first year I've used rootmakers and with intention to over-winter them. How to go about that was going to be a thread topic i planned to make.

Looks like the migra What's the story on the old building?

Looks like the migrant workers have arrived.

Sounds good! I may graft a branch on at home.

Chestnut was going to be my guess. I'm pretty sure I'd asked before. I have one in the ground at home and 2 at my hunting orchard, along with a trailman. Can't wait to try them. On another note, when would you pick Goldrush? I have a couple on one of my grafts that are looking great. I assume...

I've probably asked, but what's the best tasting?

I planted 2 keiffer, 2 rifle deer and 2 hunter pears this spring. Lost 1 hunter, but the others look great. The hunter looked fine up to about a month ago then completely died.

Burs aren't common here. I know of only a handful in parks and have never seen one that hadn't been planted.

This looks great! We have Silky here, so no experience with ROD. How tall does it get?

Enough of these oaks, I better start planting palm trees!

I've planted all my apple and pears with the graft below the surface. They seem to be doing well.

I second all of this. My Kerr are by far the slowest growing of all the varieties I've planted. BTW, I have October Crab and Gold Rush fruiting 2 years out from grafting to dolgo rootstock. Probably would have had Yates too, but the blossoms got frosted where that tree is.

This is a straight bur that was planted this year. 5' tube.

I just got a picture of one on my hunting property. I've never seen one this far west in pennsylvania.

Yes, 5' tube. No weed matt. I usually just spray a couple times a year.
