  1. A deer almost completely ring-barked one of our young apple trees. Annoyingly, the best growing tree of the lot! It's probably done for, particularly because it's been exposed a while, but I'm trying this technique to keep the area from drying out and hope it might heal. Basically wrap it in moss.

  5. #BloomScrolling: At this point most of the #AppleTrees in our little garden #Orchard are in bloom, or close to save one #AppleTree sapling which may have died?

    Here’s the “Saturn” whose flower buds were unusually long in shape and a very deep pink.

  6. Second variety of apples in bloom now, “Discovery” and the pink fleshed sport “Rosette”apple #BloomScrolling #Orchard #AppleTree #AppleTrees

  7. Found our first apple blossom of the season, Cox’s Orange Pippen! Others are close, or just little pink buds, but one laggard variety hasn’t even opened leaves yet! #BloomScrolling #Orchard #AppleTree #AppleTrees

  8. A view of the pasture/orchard this afternoon when the water was on. Still bloom in the apples, everything else is done.

  12. Three more apple trees arrived for planting out: Laxton's Superb, Baker's Delicious and Chivers Delight. The pear trees from 2023 didn't do very well so I have given up on them for now (though it was mostly sheep and bugs!)

    It's quite complicated keeping track of all the different varieties we have, which are compatible pollinators, what time of year they fruit etc. Yes I have a spreadsheet.

  14. @coth @celesteh Intriguing - post spotted via a search. Do you remember the nursery name/website?

    I got our traditional Scottish pear & #AppleTrees from scottishfruittrees.com based near Glasgow - recommended.

  15. Rex Welland was a longtime local resident who loved collecting lots of #HeritageApple species. He spent a lifetime, collecting cuttings & grafting to grow in his large backyard. He donated this land, which was his backyard, as part of #LandConservancy agreement with the Town of View Royal to keep it as a heritage orchard for the community to steward & share.

    There's 125 heritage #apple species growing there.

  17. Anyone have advice on planting an apple seedling (sold with the roots in soil) in Wainuiomata, New Zealand. Which is on the border of USDA agricultural zones 9 and 10. The site has heavy clay soil and gets some very strong winds in Fall and Spring. They have gone to a proper nursery so hopefully have got something with appropriate root stock for the area.

    Especially around the issues of soil drainage and whether or not to add soil amendments.

  19. Mum is asking me planting advice on an apple tree sapling they just bought. I know hardly anything about fruit tree planting but I am looking up things from trusted sources and running it through my general gardening knowledge filter and sending her info.

    This is actually how I learn most anything about #Gardening. I was not raised around gardeners; I am self taught and now I am teaching my mother.

  21. Yesterday was a seriously foggy and rainy day. My husband and I stopped for donuts at Soons Farms, an apple orchard and vegetable farm in New Hampton, NY. The bare trees reminded me of a Hitchcock movie.

  23. It has been a record setting mild winter here so far. Kinda surprised to see the rabbits have eaten so much of the bark on this cutoff apple branch. Then again, maybe they just find it very tasty anytime of the year😉​
