Advice for ambitious newbie apple orchard

Hi Aiden,
First I would try to identify your local regional pests (as they say “know your enemy), do this by consulting your local extension agent, or a nearby Ag school that specializes in fruit research, or ever fellows in your region on this forum who may have experience in dealing with your area’s typical pests.

You can locate and query some other local forum members that will be glad to assist you at the below mapping tool created by:

@thecityman had a wonderful idea to create an interactive map that would allow us to show our general location. I’m not trying to step on anyone’s toes or steal an idea, but just wanted to make an effort to see what I could offer. I’m not an expert and there are probably far more eloquent solutions but I decided to try using google maps to accomplish this task.

I’ve created a map below that should give everyone the ability to drop a marker or pin on their general location. I started with my location and also added a few common nurseries for reference.

To browse the member locations map, click on the link below.

To insert your location, PM @speedster1 with the location where you want yourself to be added.

Hope this helps!
