I will start this one off with my second favorite online source of information and entertainment (sorry Facebook), slickdeals.net where we currently have a freebie for 200 compostable mailers (free scion wood shippers)
Feel free to post further fruit related deals here!
Rachio 16 zone sprinkler controller massively discounted for fathers day via Lowe’s and Amazon.
Chelsea Green Publishing has their annual book sale going on currently, with up to 90% off. Last year I purchased about 25 books for around 100 bucks. Some are fruit related, which I will share below.

@alan recommends this tool and it is currently for sale for under $35. The seller is questionable but if you are willing to take the risk, it might be a good buy.
Better check with Rose and the Amazon pruner scam topic. Hopefully it isn’t the same source- the photo does show the genuine article.
Chelsea Green has their clearance sale right now with many books 80% off. Lots of books for 5 bucks. I might grab a few.
I have the Fakespot app on my computer and the seller is approved and they give them an A,for what its worth.
New seller for $52 vs the fake Chinese version I received with that initial post at $35. Likely the real deal from Maryland at that price, but I already found it on ebay straight from Japan. Still waiting on that order with long shipping times, but I think it will be worth the wait.
Milwaukee cordless pole saw, blower, charger and 8 amp hour battery for $294. I pulled the trigger, I use both tools at work and they are awesome.
Up to 90% off until September 5th with free shipping past 150 dollars ordered. Lots of good books available like The Holistic Orchard, Pawpaw, Gods, Wasps and Stranglers, and many other fruit related choices.
Just another reminder if you are looking for some good books at great prices… I am planning to place an order this evening. Some books are only 2-5 dollars each.
Slow cooker might be good for heating up wax for grafting?
Many other deals out there, fruit or not…
Manual grinder free with free shipping, I think some here could find a use for this…
For those interested in decorative planters, Lowes has clearance in the MA area and I assume other locations. They show as out of stock online but many were properly tagged and available locally. Additional stock on the top of the shelves.
An example is https://www.lowes.com/pd/allen-roth-18-5-In-Flute-Reactive-Gray-Planter/5001958201 which was marked down to about 7.50.
I need more pots like a hole in the head, but I picked up a few more nice ones from Lowe’s clearance myself the last time I was there. Under half price is worth it for something that looks nice on the new porch, I couldn’t resist haha.
Hah. I need larger ones but not smaller. I didn’t buy the 23 inch pots when I was by before and they were gone yesterday. 15 gallon should be ok for the attempts at some potted kaki persimmon.
