I have a few SLN atonovka rootstocks that are doing great in my nursery area. They are about 1ft apart and about 3ft tall now. They were planting in heavy clay amended with peat moss, lime, and fertilizer, and rototilled before planting in april. I Live in NY about an hour south of Albany NY about 1 mile away from a large river. Zone is 5A 4A line is about 10 miles away, mostly in 5A because of the proximity to a river.
They will be placed in old apple tree spots where I knocked down the tree and some / most of the main root knot comes out. Any concerns about old rotting roots? Did about 10 plum trees from pots in the fall like that and theyre doing well.
I have a few seedling spruce in the nursery, as well as some 3-4 year old 3ft tall ones. One or two 4-5 footers, and a red cedar Im moving. Any advice on root ball size. Triming back branches or roots. And care for damaged root sections for both the spruce and apple. A Good link to a transplanting guide would be great too.
Considerig buying some sort of myochorraize dip or additive when I plant. Anybody do that on here. I'm assuming mixing fetilizer in the soil isn't a good idea if using the myo. Place some on top? Don't care about organic or whatever, just want to give these guys a good go. This is my home, so I can water them often. Felt like too often this summer.......
