I’ve had good luck with their treesGot my WC trees today and planted them already, just three. They looked great. Good size, decent roots.

Nice set up there Tenpoint. I've just used mulch in the past around my trees ....BUT have some black plastic sheeting laying around , I know it's not as heavy duty as that black weed mat you are using , but do you think it would work ?Blue Hill Wildlife tree planted last weekend.

I got my Wildlife Group order in on Friday. I had ordered the Late Season Pear Package for this year. Most of the pear trees if not all were of good quality with nice root systems . The Gilmore Christmas being the exception it’s roots were a bit questionable but they must of had an over abundance of those pears or where a bit unsure of them themselves they shipped me 6 extra of them. I certainly can’t complain about that, it filled my little 1/2 acre orchard I had laid out on the new farm and I brought 3 of them back to the house and planted in the home orchard. Now I’m just waiting on a couple Illinois Everbearing Mulberry trees I ordered and some grafted Pecans to arrive. Ison’s was running a sale on their grafted pecan trees and I had a moment of weakness and ordered 4 of them Friday evening now I have to figure out where to plant them.
Yup have always received quality trees from them.I received my whitetail crabs order today, trees were all pushing 6ft with several of them being feathered and having a very good root system. I was impressed for my first order from them.

I may take some of them off once they set...gotta leave some food for those early bees!My golden hornet planted 2016 produced early and often. Too early and too often. Didn't and still hasn't put on a ton of growth. Those orange apples are pretty conspicuous though.
I've never removed anything. Too afraid I'd do it wrong.I may take some of them off once they set...gotta leave some food for those early bees!
well I am getting impatient to see some attraction so I might leave all the fruit, but have to weigh that against wanting huge trees that will produce 100X that much...decisions, decisions...I've never removed anything. Too afraid I'd do it wrong.
I'm up to 80 fruit trees (crab/apple) so I can be patient these days. Oldest are 12 years now. I worry more about late spring frosts than anything. Kinda like when a tree takes its time to fruit so it can put on decent growth. I've got more coon damaged limbs than I care to admit.well I am getting impatient to see some attraction so I might leave all the fruit, but have to weigh that against wanting huge trees that will produce 100X that much...decisions, decisions...

thats great! i have 31 apple/crab/pears above the house and ~20 below my house with the oldest being ~2 years old...so i admit the trees are in the fledgling stages right now.I'm up to 80 fruit trees (crab/apple) so I can be patient these days.

I've been there. Love seeing early apples but after some experience, don't expect much until year 5 and beyond. I can typically remove the 5' cages after about 5 years if early fruiting doesn't stunt the trees. By then I'll have it trimmed and the bottom limbs at 5' or so.thats great! i have 31 apple/crab/pears above the house and ~20 below my house with the oldest being ~2 years old...so i admit the trees are in the fledgling stages right now.
