Crabapple timeline

Sweet dog a good deer tree? Also, you have frostbite apple at your place sanbur?

Hunting 3 days at camp. Will do some scouting for new places to put trees. Got 10 anty, 5 m111, and 2 onx87 pear rootstocks coming from mehrabyan in ithaca again. Probably most will be your crabapple finds. M111's will be courthouse, liberty macoun, and maybe noran.

You plant any m111's at your place? Debating whether they're zone 3 suitable. Got anty, siberian, dolgo, and a b118 up there on the sandy zone 3 soil so far. Not sure I got a bad batch or m111's, just seems they dont take off with crabapples like they do with apples.

Sweet Dog would serve as a deer tree. I just finished picking them and stripped the tree in the home orchard.

The original tree is in a ‘no go area’ as I posted above.

I have frostbite. It rested this year. Just a few apples.

I might have one M111. A buddy brought me the Firecracker and suspects that is the rootstock under it.

I don’t have Siberian rootstock but do have ranetka and they seem to be doing well. They are not on my sandiest soils, but on my better soil.

I seem to remember you asking about an applecrab that drops through the middle to end of October. Firecracker is about 80% dropped at this time. Also known as Bill’s Red Flesh.

How's the flavor on the Buckmans?
I have a couple planted, but no production yet.

I tasted one tonight. I don’t know all of the fancy terms, but I can eat it. Quite acid. Most people wouldn’t be impressed.

Big Doh started it’s heavy drop today. My records show that the drop started on 10-23 last year.

It’s not disease free but has done well with no spray.
