There is a saying: A picture is worth a thousand words! Awesome looking tree Looks like a winner! Looks like the deer are going to be eating plenty of apples again this year.
Some trees are just more productive than others! In a no spray situation with many common apple tree diseases around. This 70+ year old tree is probably the most productive, best tasting and disease resistant apple tree that I have ever seen, more I grew this tree this past year. They are not for sale but I can say the trees extremely vigorous. This tree bears heavily but there doesn't seem to be a need for thinning ever apple was extremely large, even with a heavy crop. Looks like an apple bomb went off..... Told ya !!! I think Rusty’s Favorite would do well in SOKY, especially on my place.
Yep, I see an all nighter if necessary come September to get one! You'll sprain an ankle trying to walk under that tree!! I would love to know the background story behind these old prolific bearing trees! Rock on Ryan ! I’m on the lookout in zone 4 ! Can’t wait to get some Turning Point trees going on my Canadian border property. You better grow a lot lol Your site is always out of stock, when do yall ship your trees? Put me on the list! I want! I'll take a few I want a couple Will you be selling these in 2022 ? This is Deer Candy Persimmon! First off this tree originated from the efforts of the Late Mr. Jerry Lehman of Central Indiana. Don’t confuse this tree with other persimmon trees that have been given the same name "deer candy", this is totally a different variety of Persimmon. This tree is just now beginning to drop a very nice sized sweet tasting persimmon here in Pennsylvania. Deer Candy is productive and bears at a young age. It doesn’t hold very long, dropping early October into November, but a nice drop at the right time, plus an excellent choice for diversity in anyone’s management plan. Looking for some advice to really help on the persimmon front, is it worth planting them in pots to grow them bigger for a couple years before planting in the wilderness? I've missed the boat the last two years on ordering your persimmons, next year I'm staying up all night! Lol I can’t wait till mine starts to produce 😎😎 I enjoy seeing the end result, it helps me keep motivated! . The Malus Pear! Not a giant pear but maybe just the right size when looking to feed whitetails. I brought this pear home and began grafting it for many reasons. One reason was because I liked how it produces heavily and annually, it’s a northern pear, originating from from further north than I am located. I named it Malus pear because at this time of year it tastes more like an apple than a pear. It has a crisp crunch with the flavor of a yellow delicious. This pear typically falls through the month of November, typically at a pretty fast rate beginning in early November making it very attractive to deer. This pear stays firm enough to avoid those pesky bees of late summer that damage the fruit of many pear varieties. Yet it begins softening in November and becoming immensely sweet and almost tropical in taste. This pear has been planted across the country for the last few years. I am sure some will have pears hanging on them this time next year. Late in October take a couple from the tree and take them in the house and place them in the fridge. Do this with Sweet Advent pear as well. The taste after a week or two in the fridge will be unlike any fruit that you have ever tasted. The same process is happening to the pears remaining outside on the tree or on the ground. These are two pears that deserve much more than to be fed only to wildlife. Can’t wait to get mine going, along with my advent, and winter pears! They are on my list! If I can just get my order in 🙁
Maybe you should use a preference point system so people that have tried to order in the past only to get to checkout and have no items in their cart can have a better chance the next round?
Just a suggestion Ryan! I want your trees!!! If you posted here and missed out contact me late August next year. I'll see you get some pears next year. If you posted it will allow me to reference back and know you missed them. This one was at the top of my list for this year, but I missed out on it! I’ll be sure to get a couple next year. I can’t wait until you get more stuff in stock! Awesome products and such good information to get!!! Ryan, how cold hardy is this pear? I sure would love to get a few of your pear trees I wish I could be fast enough to get some of these! Which pear tree would be a good pollinator for the malus pear? When will you have some available? Tips for improving your odds on sale starter.

Take note of all info a month before sales begin!
If technical problems come up on opening day, get the coffee pot going and be ready for action, even if it means setting up all night!!!🤣😂 He's late tonight but he like crabapples consistently falling! Awesome hope you get a crack at him! This guy loves crab apples as well... When many people think of fruit trees, they think of a manicured orchard! Me only having small properties, the biggest being 12 acres, I haft to think fruit trees inside security cover. Not that I don't have orchards but better bucks seem to show up more in fruit trees inside cover. Pic is from this evening with 14 minutes of legal light left. This will be the same as my trees that I will be planting. I cleared out a spot in my wood lot about 66 feet wide by about 100 feet long. Hopefully the trees will get enough sunlight! Did you plant that growth under the trees or is that just native shrubs and browse ? I put mine all around the edge of food plot Shooter Cool. Enjoy your pics. A little Full Draw persimmon! Its easy to to see why named this tree Full Draw. This tree is highly productive of sweet and beginning to ripen persimmon. This northern tree will begin dropping soon and drop over a very long period lasting well into winter. Jeff Stambaugh i want a couple this spring when i pick up my other trees is that possible? How old is this tree? I want a few !! Is this one self fertile? I thought I recall you saying you cut down all your males. Whats the price on these, too late to plant this fall? I can’t wait till mine start producing. I’m excited I want some...... lol An apple tree is an apple tree but just not every apple is suited for wildlife management. Any fruit tree is not just a desirable fruit tree. There are a million of them out there. Planting a variety that is productive is number one. Planting a tree that has some built in disease resistance should be number two. Taste is important and should be figured in as number three and number four would be vigor which can be controlled by rootstock. Dont just look at your trees and think maybe next year. Choose varieties that do what you need them to to do! I have loads of different varieties of trees growing but it takes the right tree to make it to the website. Again I apologize everything has sold out for next year. There will be alot more trees available this next growing season. I have to look at the website, I was hoping the few varieties you still had a limited number of would go unnoticed while I gather the funds to make another purchase. I didn’t know you were totally sold out. Curious why you don't sell in the Spring? A little Prime Time Crab! A very vigorous and productive crabapple that is mainly a November drop here! bluehillwildlifenursery.com/product/prime-time-crab-fast-growing/ Do you have a fruit that grows in wet shade? Can I buy some now for Spring? I know the late freeze and the drought has been a hard hitter on the North East states this year but looks like diversity has really payed off. Looks like you’re knocking it out of the park with the crabapples.
Thanks for sharing. Fatten ‘em up for winter! YOU GOTTA LOVE THOSE CRABAPPLES! What is that variety? Crabapples amaze me the way they load the limbs down, and I notice the leaves are clean.
what kind of crabapples trees. well call it NoName.. Seems like most of the trees I see are loaded.
This recently released tree has a broken branch due to the heavy crop.
What tree is that? When does this years orders ship out? BeautifulLoad more
Maybe a picture of Turning Point this time of year will put you at a loss for words. Turning Point made it’s Wildlife Management debut this year and it is a winner. This late season Crabapple found its beginning with Whitetail enthusiast David Whalen from Northern New York.
I had posted a lot of winter pictures last year of Turning Point taken mostly from a trail camera and there were a lot of deer visiting this tree. Last year this tree was loaded and as you can see in this picture it is consistent at annually loading itself down.
Turning Point at this time of year has a sweet flavor, not at all tart, that deer relish, and has great disease resistance. This picture was taken October 1st at which time Turning Point had a few crabs turning yellow, beginning its drop with a slow flow then increasing with a continuous drop for months making it a extremely valuable piece in anyone’s management program. 
so than any of the modern day disease resistant apple varieties available today. This tree drops pretty fast the 1st two weeks of October with a large apple, most every apple was perfect and looked like they should me at the market.
You may question: Why are so many apples on the ground and why aren't the deer keeping them cleaned up? The answer is, this tree resides in a region that right now, at this moment, has thousands upon thousands of wild apple trees growing and a million apples lying on the ground.
This incredible apple is now named Rusty’s Favorite.
I hope you liked the picture and if you are wondering if this tree is coming to Blue Hill Wildlife Nursery? The answer to that is, Most definitely!!!!
You always hear the question "do deer eat pears", I’ll say this, in many parts of this country many deer herds have all they want to eat and in other places they get hungry. If you have Pear trees dropping fruit you will have the deer regularly checking your trees for their pears. By planting the right pears you won’t have to worry about where the deer are. I have spent years and years searching for the right pears and I feel that I have found them and I’m putting them to use.
