Grab a bunch and pull off 3 or 4 at a time. They are easy to pick.

Remind me to send you some tomato seed Clark. You won’t know what to do with yourself when you finally taste a really good tomato.

I’ve grown Pink Honey (a sweet pink heart tomato) several times over the last 10 years. They are better than the average hybrid tomato, but IMO only middle of the pack compared with really good heirloom tomatoes. Akers West Virginia for example is a much more robust/intense flavored tomato. Crnkovic Yugoslavian is arguably a better textured and flavored large pink slicing tomato.

@clarkinks … i checked 39th web site… and could not find any details on when your crab blooms ?
I have planted mostly apples here that bloom mid-late to hopefully help with our late spring frost issues.
I have a crab 20+ years now that blooms early… and blooms long… so it still has blossoms when my early mc and gold rush start blooming for about a week.
But it is finished blooming when my later trees start blooming.
I have read that Cintenneal blooms early/mid.
But not sure if it would bloom late enough to pollinate my mid/late trees.
My new novamac looks like it is going to be later to bud and bloom than my other trees. I am glad to see that…
Does your crab happen to bloom late enugh to pollinate mid/late bloomers ?
Or do you know of any crabs that do ? That also produce a good for fresh eating crab apple with decent size.
The crab I have now makes tiny red crabapples… not really edible.
It seems like most crabs are early or early mid bloomers.
Thanks

39thparallel has a wider variety of apples than i do. The bloom overlaps my other seedlings. He can give you a better idea what common varieties it overlaps.

Grafting Clark’s Crab. The two sticks of scions arrived in excellent condition. I was so impressed with the picture of this crab tree I got a little carried away and added eight grafts and could have added about four more. I mention this just to illustrate that if you’re careful an entire tree or two could be reworked from two sticks. I was also thinking that with a little luck one of the grafts might form a fruit bud for next year. The Clark’s Crab seems to like my mid Alabama weather and is aggressively growing.

Excited to taste this one. I got lucky and 39th parallel had it in stock when I checked. Ive grafted my scionwood onto a g.890 rootstock and onto several mature trees.
