Update on that October crab and a glimpse at a possible new cultivar for late chestnuts. This tree doesn't have any chestnuts hanging yet because they didn't bloom yet! Although I will say this chestnut avoided those late frost! Just another check mark for this tree being something exceptional! Comment on Facebook 2923981121048322 Allison Clark Denver Is it a chinese american hybrid? Road Kill crab precocious? You better believe it! Most every Road Kill graft pushed flowers on Antonovka and Dolgo rootstocks. You won't be waiting long for this Crabapple to be droping fruit from October until December. Trees are growing very good this year there will be a lot of 4' to 6' trees this year.. bluehillwildlifenursery.com/product/road-kill-crabapple-tree/ Comment on Facebook Road Kill crab ... Allison Clark Denver So these right here will be 4' to 6 ' by next spring when you ship them out ? I signed up to get the alert when they’re ready! They anxious to start producing aren’t they. That is incredible. You always got great trees Available in the fall? I love the name Great Had to pull blossoms off all the crabs I got the past 2 years. Damn quick for 3-4' trees. Why would you plant 5 crabapple trees that have very similar drop times? Diversity within a species? Yes! Some crabapples flower early, some may flower late, some may even flower for a month straight. With all the late spring frosts and freezes that the Midwest and Northeast have seen this season, bloom times will play a huge roll in whether you will have fruit this year or not. Whole Season Crabapple flowered very early, set fruit and then we had a hard freeze(you can see by the burnt leaves). The hard freeze happened late enough that it burnt some leaves, yet left a lot of fruit. Comment on Facebook Why would you plant ... Anthony Goodell If you have several locations, plant some on a gentle north slope. They usually bloom later and might provide a crop when the south slope doesn’t due to a late frost. This was a good late frost this Spring. Im trying to find 2 of them to plant. This wild crabapple is growing between one of my orchards and one of my corn fields. A gift? YES! The possibilities of what I can graft to this tree are awesome, I have a lot of options! With all of my choices, this tree will be grafted to become a Grams Gift Crabapple. Why? Heavy annual production!!! Prolific? Very, and has proven that to me more and more every year. I've never seen Grams Gift fail to bear fruit heavily! Comment on Facebook This wild crabapple ... What a wonderful opportunity! If you do offer a class I suggest taking a deposit and returning it at the class. So how do I get on the list for 4 grams gift apple? I’m interested Interested Probably heady way over the 20 now. We will put something together and it will involve much more than some bark, whip n tongue and cleft grafts. We will come at it with a much more deer approach. I have alot in my head way more than I ever post. Thanks guys we are 46 minutes into this post and the class is half full and half of you are flying across the country. I think its something we should do. Keep the names coming! Definitely interested in a grafting class. The persimmons I purchased are coming along great here in Illinois so far. Will be planting this fall but also looking at getting some crab apples. I looked on your website and every tree I wanted was out of stock!! I’m very interested!!! I think we can swap a few as well! 👍
I'm in for grafting class, can never know too much Im interested as well Very interested I’m very interested I'm interested Interested Hmm long drive lol Interested Enterprise Apple! Comment on Facebook 2880565625389872 Trees are pretty this year Is that clover growing underneath it? Kerr grafted onto those Honey Crisp didn't skip a beat! Liberty apple! Comment on Facebook 2868991469880621 Hands down best low maintenance apple!
Don’t even have to train the branches! I cant believe you have flowers like that. Were still getting snow. 24" aluminum window screen, folded at the bottom so the stone holds it down. This will be worth its weight in gold this fall as the voles begin to burrow and chew. This will get a 5ft fence for the deer as well. Comment on Facebook 24" aluminum window ... In the north, where snow is deeper, you need 3 or 4 foot screen.
I also staple it shut on the top like Stuart Smith says. Then I fold the excess to shade the south and southwest side of the tree. Hold it in place with just a few staples.
That will reduce sunscauld. Consider the white paint on trunk above that. Stuart Smith has the paint recipe. Can you do a video on this process? Window screen has worked for me as well. I did have one rabbit chew a quarter sized hole on one apple tree last winter. Tree only had a small bit of bark damage. Will you staple or otherwise close the top of the screen? If not, voles can climb the screen and get at the trunks Voles as bad as polar bears. I'm full of post tonight and I could probably walk around and never stop. Yet let's look at that October Crab! Comment on Facebook 2861784793934622 When will you have it in stocks again on website its all sold out Not much of a wildlife post but some Honey crisp left us today and went on to be better apples. Comment on Facebook 1462112127235236_2861746280605140 I see some yard, more space for more trees. I did the same to my worthless HC trees!
Converted mine to White and Caney Fork Limbertwig!
I gave the HC 3 years of TLC before I cut my losses! What did you graft on? Is now the time to top work ?Load more
Disease resistance? Among the best I have ever seen!
Drop time is from mid/September through mid/November.
I posted a lot about this Crabapple alot last year, if you want to check it out just travel back through my posts and see from flowers to fruit. Everyone should have this option! I'm thinking a grafting class in mid April of next year. The price for admission FREE. Yet im not looking for to many I want you to learn. If your interested pm me or post Im thinking a limit of 20.
