This morning at 3:30 AM, two young bucks were sparring in the yard.View attachment 87381View attachment 87382

Moonlight pictures are a bit hazy.

I shook most of the fruit off of the Buckman Crab this afternoon. I still haven’t checked the tree outback.

I also shook Golden Hornet, Red Splendor, and Dolgo (grafted).

Must be a pretty good dolgo to stil have fruit on it.

I got some dolgo scion from turkey creek scion sale last year that was touted as later dropping dolgo. Wondering if thats big dog or not.

Got it growing on a toringo, but will probably trim a bit off and graft onto a P18 this year.

I don’t feel Big Dog is a dolgo seedling. I could be wrong. It is rootstock used decades back.

Violi’s is still attracting deer. I shook some limbs after this picture.

Someone on this forum helped name this dolgo seedling as Clown’s Nose. Noticed how close it is to a red cedar with no significant CAR problems. I shook some limbs before trekking on.

Anybody have a copy of clown's nose yet? Buckman and violi's are planted 30ft from the cabin. I have several violi's from last year planted at camp too. How you rate it compared to your other winter crabs? Think I got 4 violi's. I like that som of the buckman's on the tree are bird crab sized. Hopefully a few grouse make a few copies on the 650 acres and maybe the neighbors parcels too.

That violi is about 10 years old or so? On anty?
