We've got a chance for storms later. Hopefully no hail, I've been guarding these two.

I hope you make the pixie crunch work because they are an awesome apple

Honeycrisp is the first pic, 2nd is the magness. Sorry about the lighting, they should make it. Watersorb and manure compost are good combo.

So far I am 23 for 25 and I think the other 2 are not going to move. I just hope they continue to grow. I got 2 scions with fruit buds only so far so hoping I get some additional buds to pop on those. And this adds 10 more apple varieties with most for cider in this group

BV - Don't mean to jack your thread, but I just found something I couldn't believe. It has to do with grafting, though - so ...... I just discovered a grafted apple I did last spring and it didn't look very good as of last fall. I just figured I'd let it in it's bucket and set it out behind the house to fade out on it's own.

I just looked at the bucket and the graft survived all winter outside with no cover, no care at all !!! Since the weather has warmed, the scion has sprouted leaves and the rootstock ( B-118 ) has a shoot growing too. I'll snip that off so the scion can leap upward. I'd have bet the house last fall that it was a goner. It's alive ........ it's ALIVE !!!!

Now Bows, that's the kind of surprise I like to find! What did you have grafted to it?

Here are my 15 trees, looks like the front left tree is going to stall out but the root stock is alive. The other 14 look great, it looks like my only fail was a cleft graft every w&t is growing great.

Merle - The scion I grafted to it is an unknown, late-hanging ( March ) apple. I got the scion from a tree upstate near my camp. I've watched those trees for years and they drop apples all winter long and still have maybe 2 dozen shriveled apples left come March. Deer tracks coming in from all directions to clean up the drops. I only learned to graft 2 years ago or I'd have gotten scions years before. Coulda-Woulda-Shoulda.

Sounds like you've got it figured out now though. It really does open up a lot of possibilities, especially for varieties like the one you grafted.
