Happy 3rd Bday to this common wild apple from U of Idaho. I planted this tiny little plug in spring of 2021. It turned 3 years old last Saturday. It blew out of the 5 foot tube with ease. I put a 5 foot cage around it last summer. Hopefully it will turn into something decent. It has seen some 19-19-19 fertilizer and a little bit of gypsum. It mostly gets full sun and and has had a weed mat since day 1.















Also, happy 2nd birthday to 18 of my 25 red splendor crab apple trees that I planted 2 years ago. Their birthday was also on Saturday. These have been excellent growers with 100% survival. Most of the 18-24" bareroots are now out of the 5 foot tube and getting ready to start their 3rd summer in my woods. I planted these mainly for grouse food.

Planted April of 2021. Its about 12 feet tall now. Its starting to push the tube apart. Sure hope it gets apples someday day.

Hopefully they survive !
