Burknots on m111

I havnt noticed any on b118, I only have a couple.View attachment 34598

All My NWC Crabs have Burknots . Some people said to cut them out, others said to just leave them. Will they weaken the tree or subject them for diesease of insects to enter through the burknots ?. As the tree gets larger will they go away ?

All of my trees are young, less than four years old, don't have any long term experience to share. My plan is to mound soil up too the graft union as time permits. There is a video online from SkillCult about removing them, something I havnt tried.

I've got a lot of NWC in the ground and a lot of apples planted on M111. I plant my fruit trees so only an inch or so below graft is above ground and haven't had any issues that I know of.

I ordered 4 Enterprise apple and 2 crabs (Crossbow and Redfield) from Terrry in winter 2020. All trees were to be planted in zone 4a in MN. When communicating with Terry, he indicated the Enterprise trees were on M111 rootstock, which he said should be good for my area. I planted all 6 trees in April 2020. All trees have exceeded my expectations. All trees were much larger than I expected when received and all 6 trees put on tremendous growth during the 2020 growing season. I look forward to seeing what 2021 has in store.

Hows that Redfield doing ?. I just planted one last month.
