Darn you guys and talking me into another tree..had to replace a vole-chewed Wolf River with a cheap Winesap…

I thought they woulda dried out by now but I guess that parafilm is some good stuff…hoping the rest of them take off soon!

I just couldn’t believe it when I saw some leaves popping..I thought they had been gone for a month

Very weird occurrence here in Northern PA..grafted maybe 2 dozen crabs/apples/pears back in early April and thought that I am just terrible at this because none of them worked…now they are just starting to pop! Would there be a reason for this or does it just take this long usually? Shown are a...

Think that one’s a turkey crab from whitetail crabs

Just picked some up

Here’s some pics of the carnage… These were Harrison, golden hornet, gray ghost and turkey crab..to note it seems like the full sized apples are chewed on the hardest…hit them with another good spray of Sevin today..

Nah these guys have little like spider web things that they blow in on. A lot of my hardest hit trees are in the middle of a field, as they were blown there.

They go after everything, but think they like the nice new tender leaves on new trees.

So I missed a few days of spraying in a row with Sevin on my newly planted (this spring and last fall) crabs/apples/pears and some of them got whacked pretty hard by Gypsy moth caterpillars. I did hit all of them thoroughly with Sevin tonight but it is now raining and will be cool and wet for...

I would give it a bit I sprayed around the cage edges of my fruit trees and a small section of reed canary grass with the same gly you described at 5 oz/gal about 2.5 weeks ago it took till this week to notice the burn down but it did a great job. I think the plants just hold it till it gets a...

This is the first year I’ve gotten blossoms after planting spring 2021 so I’m pretty excited..one of the trees nearby that doesn’t get hit as hard is a hewes crab which is right up there as one of my favorites..about golf ball size but very smooth and sweet taste

I think I even have some of that!!

I would totally do that, but I want some fruit from this tree! Especially after a couple guys on here said chestnut was good to eat!

Finally snagged some pics while mowing today…any thoughts on what it could be or how to help it?

Thanks for the replies fellas I just think it’s strange that this tree out of the other 5+ dozen seems to have its leaves get chomped most every year…

Got a sweet little Chestnut crab on M7 rootstock from Turkey Creek that has been in the ground 3 years and is just starting to bud out..have noticed that it’s leaves have been chewed on by something even now and saw a few small brown-green beetles on the leaves yesterday..really want this tree...

Glad you said that I was all hyped to start getting some more growth on my conifer screen and was going to try to find something hotter than 10-10-10, though mine are 2 years in the ground think they could handle a bit more than 10-10-10?

Here’s a pic of my front field..it was so warm this winter a bit north of you Pat that they barely touched the turnips and now most of them (the lighter shade of green) are starting to bolt..I’ll take the free seed when I mow it in the late summer! Maybe next winter will be cold enough for them...
