Now THAT'S true recycling

Y'all are so smart! Every little bit helps on the water bill.

3 years ago we put in 2 two year old apple trees: Gala & Fuji, for cross pollination. Well, up until this year, we didn't get ANY blossoms on either tree, which of course meant no apples.

This Spring the Fuji tree bloomed,

But the Gala tree did not.

However, being an eternal optomist, i kept looking for apples. The other day I found TWO apples!

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Woo Hoo! Hope there are more apples hiding in there somewhere!

Congratulations. Between borers and late frosts we have only gotten a few pears in almost five years. All of the fruit trees and full of fruit this year so we are hoping to have a good harvest.

Ahhhhhhh the fruits of thy labor........ congratulations

 

[Baymule]

That is so exciting! I hope you get at least one of them to eat. Last year we got 4 peaches. This year the tree is loaded, we are hoping for a good harvest. So, you may have both trees blooming next year!

 

[Mike CHS]

We had a lot of peaches last year but they all had worms in them. We talked to the guy that owns the orchard that we buy peaches from and he said if you want worm free peaches, you have to spray every ten days.

 

[Baymule]

What do you spray them with?

Lots of pears every year here, but the tree rats, raccoons and possum get almost every one.
Same with the scuppernong I have on the wooden fence.
