Art, this tree is in MN. has not dropped an apple yet. But the deer seem to be hitting the lower ones right now. I will be honest, since we don't have any cattle in the feed lot anymore, this is the first time i have seen this tree. No idea how it got this big so fast, as it was not there 5 years ago that I remember. So I know little about it. But it sure has a lot of fruit on it!
John-my two grafted dolgos look like that but quit dropping apples about the first week of Sept. Please let us know how long this one drops applesor I should say how late it drops apples.
Is this in Mn. or Mo.? If in Mn. it might be worth a graft or two if it always drops this late.
for reference, my chestnut crabs are just about done dropping.
The chestnut crab that is 80 miles north of me is about a week or ten days behind the chestnut crabs at my place for this year. I wonder if late spring could mean later apple drop. My chestnut crabs on a north slope are also a bit behind south slope trees-why I asked about the silo.The dolgo like apples on the large tree up at my parents house was still holding quite a few apples this past weekend but less than half. It is quite old so no idea if it was grafted or not. Apple look fairly similar to the ones pictured in this thread.
