Beautiful work all the way around, Dan. I think you have said before most of your trees are on M111, but I can't remember for certain. Either way, things sure grow fast in S. Illinois.

That's what we're all striving for. Beautiful nursery and wonderful looking trees.

I can only view the thumbnails. Do I need to change some settings on my 'puter?
I always like the apple pictures!

I think if you load more than a few from your computer they show as thumbnails instead of full size. You should be able to double click to view them. If you use a photo bucket type account then they'll show full size.

Different computer and I can see them.

Nice trees for a 2008 planting. Great looking graft nursery, Dan.

I'm impressed that your trees put on the much caliper in 7 years. Great job.

Do you ever have any vole or critter damage to your trunks?

I took down the 6' diameter cages this spring and used them on new plantings. Just this weekend I put welded wire around the trunks to keep bucks from rubbing. Once the trees get to this size, the rabbits and mice do not bother them, however they will girdle the small ones.

These are m111, however the last 3 years I've been grafting to b118 as they say they produce sooner.
