I made a little video looking at some blossoms on some of the apples, apple crabs, and crabapples; I also hit a few pears. If Bloom Times interests you, this may be one to watch. An apple tree is not just an apple tree! www.bluehillwildlifenursery.com

Good info! I took some notes. You covered every single tree I have except for sonofcal. How does the bloom time of that tree compare to the others?
Really enjoy your videos Ryan. Very informative!
Love your videos Ryan
I am not sure if Hannah Haines will be a deer hunter, but she is showing me that she will be a farmer—maybe only a deer farmer, but I will take it! She did very well, as we put a lot of plots in on Sunday.
I have always posted about my small to micro properties, all being 12 acres or less. We have been fortunate to purchase a 75-acre farm. This means more trees grown to go for sale and a lot more posts on the progression of this property regarding trees and wildlife.

I tagged you in one of his podcasts for this a few months ago!
Amazing quality trees. Gotta make more space so I can get more. Not mentioning any names, but I have bought trees online from lots of places, and these are by far the best. Wish I found them sooner.
When is the wild pear and wild apple tree available
Those big ones are dropping! Who needs a shed dog when you have a son like Hunter Haines! ... See MoreSee Less

This video on tree planting is really old but the basic concepts are the same. There are a lot of videos on Blue Hills link below. bluehillwildlifenursery.com/video-gallery/

What will this one be called when it’s available??
It will be interesting to see the results. Will keep tuned in.
What is the process to cross pollinate?
It was an hour of family fun, with 40% still holding in central Pennsylvania. I know it's not the Midwest, but many of my better bucks are still holing. (I'll toss a pic of that). ... See MoreSee Less

Great job!
Man I’ve been running trail cameras on my place and I haven’t seen a buck since muzzleloader season. Either they are that depleted in my herd or they dropped early. I believe this one has nuts 😂
I’m curious, did any certain trees have sheds nearby?
I added some trees to www.bluehillwildlifenursery.com and a good amount of 2 year old pears. ... See MoreSee Less

Great looking trees. The ones I bought 2 years ago are doing great!
Excited to try them out in central Iowa
Some trees will return in stock in smaller numbers in the next few days, and Prime Time Crabapple is one of them. I tossed a camera on one Prime Time. This place is a micro property that has 7 acres huntable and bordered by houses on three sides. There was no scrap under this tree. Most any buck would circle it and pick up any crab that dropped. The primary food source on this property is fruit, this is one tree and a few pics from seven days. ... See MoreSee Less

I’ll keep an eye on the website. I’d like to add several more to my property. Planted some last year from you and they all took off like wildfire. Really impressed!
Is there any fertilizer we should put on young trees now? Hopefully 2024 will be the year of first fruit for our little place. I am removing maple trees and sassafras to get more light in.
I’m guessing a couple of those bucks will make your 2024 hit list!
This is a thank you to everyone still keeping their eyes open for trees that are an exception and sending in scion wood! I keep adding everything sent in to our orchards for observation. These two trees are from Billings, Montana. That alone is very cool to me. It only takes a little to look at these trees and see the production is off the charts. The trees are holding very late, fruit is produced on that one-year-old wood, and the fruit's integrity on one tree is very palatable even after being frozen repeatedly. The fruit size is perfect! Cider guys will think Iced Cider, but I'm thinking deer food falling from above! Some unknowns exist here, but you could see these trees in the future.
Thanks for keeping an eye out.

I have this late holding crabapple that I plan to start grafting from next spring. Just started dropping a few in November and will hold all through the winter. The deer come check every single night for any fallen fruit. Fruit is nickel to quarter size.
Can’t wait to see when you release this one!
Nice!
