Sweet 16 looking good. 3rd leaf. I'm hoping this tree really takes off this year.
Clover mix planted a few weeks ago. Alice white, jumbo ladino, Kopu II, and marathon red. Dumped 1" out of the rain gauge at 230pm this afternoon. Probably got another inch after that today. More expected tomorrow. Good start to June after a fairly dry May.
Bummer about that liberty. Does that one have wet feet? I might have a replacement for you if needed. I grafted a handful of liberty, we'll see what things look like in another month or two for what kind of inventory I have.

I doubt it has wet feet. It's about the furthest one from any water. The other 4th leaf Liberty would be the one I'd worry about wet feet as it's one of the closest to water. If you have one to spare I'd certainly take it as the two I lost this year were both liberty. I think the 1st leaf liberty that bloomed this year even set some fruit. Definitely have to get those pinched off next time I'm up.
I really have no clue. It bloomed out and then kicked the bucket basically. I'd think if it was winter kill nothing would have happened? When I have more time I'll try to inspect it closer. I didn't think I'd have too many issues with the DR trees. The other one I lost was totally preventable and my fault for not getting window screen on it.
Apples on 4th leaf Liberty on EMLA 7. The one that didn't die.
Never miss an opportunity to eat the red-osier dogwood.
My little clover plot in the woods doing pretty well. Some winter rye came up as well. Want to double the size next spring. A few weeds but nothing major.
Good question. We rent that to a local farmer. For years it was clover, then he planted corn or beans for about 5 years. The last 4 years or so it's been too wet to plant anything so he planted something in early June back in 2011. I haven't figured out what it is. He cuts it once a year. This august we are having him plant clover/winter rye/radishes. Then back to a perennial clover plot for a few years. 90% of it flooded last year after the massive amount of rain in April/May and early June.
Already ordered 4 more from Cummins for next spring plus CrazyEd is grafting a couple for me. Somebody just had to go ahead and post the Cummins 2015 offer list. Couldn't resist. :)
Going to up my crab count next year. Ordered a dolgo on antonovka, a centennial on b118 and a Kerr on b118. Also threw in a black oxford on b118.
My 2nd leaf dolgo has a few apples on it this year. We'll see if they make it to maturity. I'm hoping to try one later this summer.
Do you have any Dolgo on Antonovka Sandbur? I've got one coming next year. That'll be my first tree on that particular rootstock. Looking forward to the Kerr and centennial as well. Also looking to add a chestnut and Whitney to round out my crab diversity.

My oldest dolgo is on antanovka. It is probably on twenty plus leaf (years). I think the new one in third or fourth leaf is on own root.
I have a centennial graft that looks like it is surviving. Three kerrs on second leaf and about 10 or 12 chestnut crabs of various ages up to twenty years.
