Sweet November, this is a new applecrab that will be available for purchase this fall. What you are looking at in this picture is a lot of flowering buds on one year old wood. That means this applecrab is very precocious (early producing) and this added benefit makes it a verybe heavy producer. This tree is exceptional in many ways for more information click this link. bluehillwildlifenursery.com/product/sweet-november-crab/

Jonathan Johnson Michael Ousley Put me down I’ll take 2 Chris Kruppo this is the trees I told u about to plant up there around your food plot. The deer love the crab apples! When is the next time ordering will be available? I don’t want to miss it again. Good stuff Ryan. This is the stress period for Whitetails. Im ready to get my order and get them in the ground! Cmon April! This picture is from two years ago. With winters like that, late dropping apples are important for the deer herd.
A persimmon tree is something you can be very creative with when looking at tree spacing. Whether your on a big property or small. Planting Persimmon in groves or groups creates something to be desired for the deer and the hunter. Persimmon are very shade tolerant at least when it comes to producing fruit, obviously when it comes to growth of the tree it needs to be receiving a minimum of 6 hours of sunlight. Yet when planted in groves with minimum spacing you will get some like the pictures below. These pictures are from November 9th and surely a place that is receiving a lot of attention from bucks and does a like.
Will your Persimmon’s live/thrive in northern Potter County?
Thanks
Marty I have several persimmon trees
They look really good while growing. Loaded with blossoms. But fruit srops off before ripe. Is there a good fertilizer I can use ? That’s pretty awesome. What’s best persimmon you sell for late drop time? Is it true that persimmon trees will handle seasonably wet soil? Hey Ryan, generally speaking what is the expected survival rate of your various seedlings after transplanting?
Sweet Advent ™️ Pear grafted on to Bartlett seedling rootstock (Pyrus communis).
That tree is going to be loaded, I have a couple but I think I’m going to add a few to one of my hunting spots. That drop time will be ideal for my rut/firearm season.
Do deer eat quarter sized crabs? Jonathan Johnson Michael Ousley Caleb Potter Jeff Stambaugh I enjoy your posts thank you I noticed alot of your trees are out of stock. When do you think you will be changing that?
Sweet November is a Applecrab! This tree began dropping fruit the beginning of November and is still continuing to drop fruit and attract deer as of today. This applecrab resides in Northern New York in plant hardiness zone 4. Buddy Faison this is the place I want to order my crab apples from. The choices are unlimited Jonathan Johnson Michael Ousley Michael Case Jeff Stambaugh Myles Kellerman Great looking product Ryan. Thank you from all us deer hunters. Do you have anything available for spring orders? A big bunch of fruit on that tree, when was that first picture took? You have any available? Very nice! .
This cultivar was grown by and given to me by Mr. John Trout (he has alot of great grafting videos on you tube for those that are interested). This tree has been proving to be something special from up in the north to well into the deep south. It begins producing at a young age, its consistent and has a nice drop. The drop will swing a few weeks from north to deep south. For those of you that are interested in fruit trees or growing trees for deer. There is alot of great people, tips and ideas can be found on habitat-talk.com/index.php?forums/fruit-trees.5/ and deerhunterforum.com/index.php?forums/fruit-trees.11/
I planted one of your Primetime Crabs this past spring and very impressed with the growth, can’t wait to see what it does in its second year.
I'm going to close the chapter on this tree! The camera I had on it has been moved to another tree that has been proving itself to be a winner! This tree that I have posted about in my latest few posts has officially been named "Lockdown Crab". Traci Lee Josh Gardner Josh Hackenberg Michael Mixell Very impressive crop of fruit this tree is carrying back in November. I copied from your earlier post.
Just a little update on that apple crab I had posted about back on November 4th. This tree Still has fruit hanging and dropping. I was looking for something that the main drop would be short, sweet, late and at a good time. This tree fits that description. This crab provide an adequate drop for all of us whether we like to hunt the rut or focus on our firearm seasons. Im sure the question is when will this drop for me? Abscission is what causes a fruit to drop. Its the cell division between fruit and tree. Abscission happens for different reasons to different trees. On this tree I believe its happening for the right reasons. Drop times can swing a few weeks on the same tree, at the same location on any given year. What I'm saying is many of us should see a very similar drop from this tree. Also this tree needs a name any ideas?
Short and Sweet apple crab. King Crab or November Reign. You have a lot of time to think of names while sitting in your deer stand waiting for Mr. Big! how old is this tree?

The tracks in the fresh snow paints a picture to answer that question.
A food source is a food source this one is just time released.
Many people will ask, what variety of Crabapple is that? This is not a named cultivar It happens to be just a wild crabapple. In planting wild crabapples you will get wide variations.
As the picture shows, it is doing the job of providing food for deer and other wildlife. bluehillwildlifenursery.com/product/wild-crabapple-malus-dolgo/
This 2" applecrab is very sweet, will fully ripen and hangs well in the north. I believe that once this tree is grafted and growing here and below the 40th degree latitude (northern and southern states) we will all see something special.
Sweet November bears very heavy crops of very clean applecrabs. You can see in the 1st picture how heavily it produced on very young wood. The original tree carries strong weeping limbs from all the years of producing so much fruit. This tree has never been sprayed in its life. Shows strong resistance to Cedar Apple Rust (C.A.R. is very present in this area), fruit and leaves are clean showing no signs of scab, or infections of blight having ever been on this old tree and with that said powdery mildew would have most likely brought this tree down at a young age in the wild.
There was a Browning trail camera placed to cover this tree during the month of November and then a Spypoint was moved in early December. So with pictures taken at 2 different angles, Sweet November definitely looked to be a preferred tree among a 1,000 other wild apple trees within close vicinity.
Although it may be a little cliche, I just saw the name as being fitting because a majority of the drop did occur during the exact period of time that lockdown occurs. A period of time at which I took my buck that was locked down with a doe this year year on November 20th. This tree kept the attention of a lot of deer right up until the end. I added a few pictures to this post taken the last few days before the camera was moved. Theres was many more pictures taken even though most deer had moved off to a tree now named "Sweet November" that is still holding and dropping alot.
The original tree is not located on my property and I did not harvest my buck from this tree. That being said this tree will be added to my management plan because of its drop time and attraction during that critical time of season.
I have been fortunate enough to expand and be able to go through 1,000’s and 1,000's of wild growing trees thanks to all of you. It normaly takes about 500 to a 1,000 trees to find something truly special when looking at drop time, disease resistance, fruit quality, ect.
Lockdown Crab is one of those trees that fits the above criteria and has pretty much finished its drop in the last week. As far as drop, this trees is occurring for the right reasons during an essential time of season. You could probably figure the drop a few weeks earlier in the south and be right on the money in states such as NY, PA, OH, MI, Northern IN, Northern IL, WI, IA, Southern MN.
Lockdown Crab is something special and is an apple crab you will definitely see next year!
