These pictures are buried somewhere in this thread. I have two Kerr trees and they skip a year here and there. The tree tends to be small. I have stripped blossoms off of the central leader to reduce tipping of the leader. I can no longer reach the blossoms, even from a ladder.

One tree has a bit of yellow color to the leaves this year and perhaps I iverprubed or the erratic weather/ drought has hit it hard. Time will tell.

Kerr from a few years back. The trees often hold fruit well into winter.

Thanks for the info. You sold kerr to me, Just waitng for it to be big enough to making apples.

Bought a macoun from the local nursery today. Stark nursery macoun in growing, but not as well as my other trees. Bought a plan B. So-so for an wildlife apple. Supposedly, NY 414 is a take on making a macoun based on Liberty. Unfortuneatley had to dig it up to make room for a pear my wife likes...... Growing well at a coworkers field though.

Both kerr and trailman topworking is going well. All but one grafting section took on both trees. Easily making a foot of growth so far this year.
