February 2024 update
Anna and Dorsett Golden started flowering about the 2nd week of February. Just a hint of buds starting to come out of dormancy on Fujis  Attached File Attached File Attached FilePulled back old mulch, mixed a pound of sulfur and 2 pounds of 13-13-13 with manure and spread around trees. Then covered with new mulch. 5 new trees coming from out of state in mid-march: King David (2) Wickson Crab Williams pride Ashmead kernel So far, it's looking like I might get a handful of apples off the Anna and d golden this summer |

Think about grafting....
My Grandfather was a genius at grafting fruit trees, and I don't suppose nut trees are that different. He would graft the trees so there would be four kinds of apples, plums, cherries, peaches/nectarines on each tree...so with four trees he had 16 different fruits. Even as a kid I thought that was cool. I was only about 7 years old when he showed me how to do it, but while I always wanted to try it, I never have done it yet. |

Anna
 Attached FileDorsett Golden  Attached FileThey really seem to be ripening up fast.  Attached FileBlech. Caterpillars seem to love apple trees.  Attached FileFrom what I was reading, I was expecting it to be around the middle of June before harvest on either the Anna or Dorsett Golden but seems like sooner is more likely. |

Just so I remember, the one fuji only put out 1 cluster of flowers, about 1st week of April. Other Fuji was slower to bloom and has not put out flowers at all.
Pink lady bloomed about the same time but has likewise not produced any blossoms. Unsure if it's a lack of chill hours or what. I'm curious to see what happens next spring. If nothing happens after a few years, I might cut them and graft new varieties onto the old rootstock. |
