i am carefully reading these mail notes from sheldon and bill and billy to determine the best approach to fix my 'backyard' red apple problems. the soil in the 'front yard' is similar to 'backyard', not compacted, but is flour like. so i will be obtaining 'rich topsoil' for 'front and back' red apple plantings. will be a busy winter. - 9
check with your county agent (remember mr. kimball on "green acres"?) or your state agricultural extension service web site. they should have a spray schedule for apple s for your area. early sprays are for fungal diseases and apple curculio. summer sprays are for "apple maggots". here in minnesota, the serious damage is - 7
here is yet another apple tree question. my old apple tree has a bazillion apples on it. question: exactly what do i do to it to keep worms from eating the apples? every year, almost every apple has one or more worms in it. is there a spray that can be safely used? and - here is the important question that i haven't found an - 7
apple trees gone? cherry trees coming? i have an end of group townhouse with a small yard on the side. it's next to a small public park area with tall trees, so part of the morning, all available planting spots are in the shade. where do i plant my new cherry trees next spring it says at least 10 feet apart. they would look - 7
your biggest problem is the size of this tree. it makes netting and other similar measures impractical. if you are crazy about the taste of this apple , you can preserve it by grafting it to another tree or rootstock. what ever you do, if you replace this tree, do it with a dwarfed version that you can more easily handle. - 7
i grafted one branch of one of my apple trees with a scion of chestnut crab. i had tasted one before and knew they were real good to eat. now that it has been producing for a few years, it is the best tasting apple i grow, and i grow quite a few varieties. last spring, i grafted more of it on other trees. i want more of - 6
hi-ho, i read about making apple cider in an old "make" (or was it "craft") magazine about making apple cider. now i have a burning desire to plant apple trees and make cider. despite the probable 4-10 year delay as the trees grow, what i really want to know is if the right sort of trees are available? i - 5
on sat, 14 jun 008 19:37:13 -0700, "zootal" google for coddling moth and apple maggot, two of the most common pests. and for diseases, google for apple scab. read all that and you'll wonder how several generations of humans have never seen a worm in an apple nor seen a deformed one, apple, not worm. -dickm - 5
forget about your worms. use the wormy apple s to make cider. wonderfully refreshing and nourishing. you can ferment it and legally make 00 gallon of "hard cider". that will help you forget all about your worms. the worms will provide for protein in your power-drink. newton developed the law of gravity when he saw an apple - 5
shop around here that even sells trees, but i guess not many fruit tress. there is no stump and few roots left. maybe that is because of the cedar apple rust, but nonetheless. i can probably rip out any roots that are in the way. the apple tree roots seemed pretty shallow, especially the other tree, which fell over twice. but - 4
