I put cardboard down to knock out the grass around it instead … normally I don’t, had it in my mind to do it that way for who knows why… Oh… I could get to the tall grass that was growing around it and didn’t want to put the fence up so… I shoved it there
I’ve talked to a few that believe the Juju will grow. We will see this spring if it comes out. I do have several seedling that I have as well.
I’m going to RK and TS today to see if they have any trees in. 15 minute drive
Walmart used to sell “Yellow, Red or Green” Apple Trees. I have a couple “Yellow” (Golden Delicious) Trees. I fear they are on a standard rootstock as the are getting huge. I’m sure big box trees account for the majority of the non-commercial fruit trees sold in the US.
Thanks! That looks like what I saw at the TC we were at earlier this week. I was tempted to get a few of their berry plants (Boysenberry, Fall Gold, Hinnomaki Red) as well as a Jonathan tree. You’re not making it easier for me!!
The fruit trees just came in as I was leaving. So I did an about face and bought some newly arrived trees. 3 peach and 2 pear for special scions I received.
I had to stop by Home Depot the other day and it looked like they just got in their fruit trees. They had ~3 varieties of each type (Red Haven, Contender, and Reliant peaches for example), as well as some multi-grafts. Not something I plan to buy, but I can’t stop myself from looking. Actually, if I had a big open yard, I would probably get some of their plums and peaches and use them as grafting platforms. They are bigger than most anything you can get shipped to you. As it is, I only ordered 1 non-jujube this year and it was a very variety specific selection, so big boxes aren’t really a fit.
Went to Lowe’s today…lots of apples and peaches. A few nectarines, blueberries, blackberries, and grapes (that won’t grow here). Several figs that were really nice size…I really wanted one. . Just had Brown Turkey, Celeste, Kadota. But nice big fig plants!
Well, I have to admit that I didn’t look. Husband was waiting in the truck and I was supposed to be there just for cauliflower plants…do I need to say more? I did admit that I had a brief look at the trees… I do know that usually the peaches are pretty good for our area and a lot of peaches are grown commercially here. The apples would have been okay here. The only pear I saw was Kieffer and that would have been okay. Grapes don’t do well here because of Pierce Disease. There might have been some that would have been okay but I didn’t dwell on them for above reasons. Also I picked up a tag on a blackberry plant and it was tagged as a grape…
