Dang. You're well on your way. Love that 5 year old Liberty. When did it drop? Charts show it being a mid-fall ripener but Natureboy and a few others say it can hold pretty late.
 
Do you fertilize?
 
I do put down some triple something around the dripline every year. Sometimes I’ll laybdown cow patties fro the last fall inside the cages of the new trees. Seems to lead to a lot of thistle in some spots.
 
Liberty Ripens first few weeks of October in SW Wisco here seems. Has a short stem so doesn’t hang much. Plus the birds really go after them.
 
Your trees are doing great, I love seeing the then and now pics. I'm glad you documented the progress of your trees - thanks for keeping us posted too.
 
Nice trees and pics, KickapooKid !! I've been told that Wolf River on Antonovka will be a BIG producer as it gets some maturity. Our oldest WR on Antonovka was planted in 2013. It's about 16 ft. tall now.

You have some good varieties there. Good things in your future!!
