The weather in the South this spring has been perfect for fireblight. I've seen a tiny bit on one 15 year old tree that has never shown it before. A couple of other trees that are MS to FB are also showing some. The bad thing is that it can get worse (depending on the weather) even well into...

Yes it is. However, if it doesn't get any worse you need not worry. PS - Granny Smith is VS to fireblight.

Some of the threats you find in the woods can be terrifying.

I've never seen those mites here, and I'm only aware of them vicariously, What I've read is that they seldom kill a tree. If you remove too many leaves that isn't going to be good either. I just zoomed in and looked at your picture closer. My recommendation would be to leave it alone unless it...

Looks like blister mite. If the tree is small, the best thing to do is remove the affected leaves and burn them. If you had a strong magnifying glass you could probably see the mites.

Two crops at the same time.

Plant Miller and Deer Magnet. They will cover October and November for you in KY.

Unfortunately, my Black Oxford went down in the severe storm we had two years ago. I tried setting it back up and bracing it, but with the heat of the hot summer and drought it didn't survive. Since that time I have only planted some Blue Hill trees and haven't replaced it. Perhaps in the...

That’s sad, and I hear that same thing from several people.

I sometimes wonder how we have any turkeys. We don’t have very many here like we used to.

That's a good looking Job. I'm also planting and caging RODs now. My intent is to get them established well in the cages and then move the cages to new locations. If the birds will help, that will be good too. The birds single handedly have got arrowwood virbunums planted everywhere for me...

I make them the same size as for apples - about 3 feet diameter or maybe a little smaller. Normally a deer won't browse or rub a persimmon tree, but if one is out in the open, it's best not to take any chances. If a fruit tree is planted within 15 inches or so from a barbed wire fence line, I...

I was walking by one of my native female persimmons recently and noticed two nice root sprouts about knee high coming out of the ground about 10 feet out from the main tree. I took a shovel and dug both sprouts with big root balls and transplanted them to new locations. I had a cage handy for...

I tried looking on gun broker for you but didn't see much. There were only two, and they had rifled barrels.

Somebody thought so,

Yes, that is Priscilla without any spraying.

Good luck

I'm still hoping you will try a Sundance and Priscilla down there.

I’m glad I can get good fruit without spraying. If I had to spray this pear tree I would need a helicopter. It is 44 feet tall and 32 feet wide.
