Hey all,
So I'm finding more room for trees! I'm planning on putting in 8 on my one property/one side of the road, depending on your feedback! They'll all be DR varieties or varieties that are suitable for low/no spray. Basically I'll keep the japanese beetles off of them and then do a dormant spray. The first picture here shows what I have now, and what I plan to put in. All that I'm puting in have a red tack. I want to buy a bunch (5 or so) from SLN, since it's under new management and I'd love to help the business out. From SLN I'm thinking at least 1 of the Violi and the Winter hangover. I'm also going to peruse the catalog and pick out some other varieties (or get ones that people suggest). I have some trees grafted and in the ground already, as well as a few wild trees, so I'm not worried about production in the next few years. I'm also going to get ~8 antonovka and B.118 rootstock from Cummins, and then bark/rind graft those in a few years. I'm mainly looking for later dropping varieties, just because November-December is when apples are in short supply. The green is native prairie, The YELLOW is a blind I will put up next year, the WHITE is my current blind. I will get my other side layout on here during the day at some point.
