Hmm that is weird. I could of swore he had it on his website when orders first opened up. Maybe not though. I planted one last year and its growing great. He has gotten rid of a few different varieties throughout the years. Wonder if he learned more about the tree and doesn't like something...

I need to get some trailman scion this winter and graft a couple. I just started planting some early dropping varieties this past year. I have a chestnut crab and a sweet dog. I heard chestnut crab is also a good eater.

From my experience last year buying several select trees and normal size trees, definitely not worth it. Thats all I have to say...

I haven't ordered trees from Terry in a year or two. But he's such a great guy to work with. I think he's the most reasonable on prices. Midwest does have some interesting trees. But I think the prices are to high for what you get. I have seen some people get some pretty small trees from them.

Tree prices are starting to get very expensive now. I think im done buying fruit trees. Grafting my own from here on out. It's very rewarding!

Ryan emailed me back today and this is what he said: Hi Tyler, they are probably putting down more roots before they push. There is a lot of growing season left. If it gets to July and is not growing, write back to me, and I will refund you for the trees. However, I believe you will see them...

I thought that at first to. But after looking at another pic I'm pretty sure the green I thought I was seeing Is a weed.

Yeah I probably should of pruned the ayers back some before planting. That's the only tree I didnt cut back for some reason lol But I emailed Ryan a couple days ago. Still waiting to here back from him. I have nothing else to lose at this point besides give them a few more weeks. I would think...

I have a ayers pear and a sweet advent pear tree that haven't woken up yet. Both were planted at the end of March in Michigan (Zone 5a). All of the other pear and apple trees planted at the same time are doing good. The sweet advent has had some green on the buds for the past 2 weeks but very...

I grafted a Turning point onto M111 this spring. It's been just about 4 weeks. Buds just started pushing through parafilm and showing a little green the past couple of days.

It's definitely tempting to put another order in... But man I have already had my trees in the ground for almost 6 weeks now. It's a bit late for me to plant trees not unless I baby them. Great deal though!

How much sunlight does that tree get?

I do all the time. I like most of the roots to be the same length. I try not to cut off more then 1/3 of the root though.

There is no doubt that an apple tree on standard rootstock will produce more tonnage. I have a mix of both planted. But the way I look at it is that I would rather have 30 crabapples fall in one day then 10 apples. I want more fruit on the ground even if it weighs a little less. Crabapples have...

Looks like Bluehill still has a couple thousand pears available on the website. Never seen them have that many left at this time of year. Wonder what a place like that will do with that many 2 year old pear trees left?
