Yeah, I was thinking you’d not lived long at the current place? So, kinda wondered about the willows.

Then the boxes start showing up.
On topic: 
I have a VdB that was iffy but really has bounced back. It raring to get outside. 3 of my figs are going into the ground and one im planning on putting in the greenhouse (thats about 20% done) It may be VdB.

I have limited experience with their fruit,but to me,early when ripening,are like a Gooseberry and later,turn dark with a flavor closer to a Currant.I’ve only eaten when picked and am not really wild about them.bb

So my ACN surprise(!) order came with an Ark Black too, on M111. I was supposed to order a Redhaven for a friend. Apparently when fiddling with my cart i kept Ark in and moved Redhaven out.
Now i need another spot for a full sized tree.
Well, there are def much worse problems to have. Hub said he never thought he would hear me complain about too many trees.
Somehow i thought i had 12- ish trees. Naw. 22. Not counting crabs and mulberries.

Hahaaa! Indeed!!!
I have at least 5 Odysso, but none have fruit this year. The Odysso scionwood I put on top of my first FRANKENTREE in 2018 is finally off to the races. Strange tree indeed…about half of the limbs have reddish leaves, the other half green ones!!

I guess I have to add a few more rootstocks to my list. I just ordered 2x g-41 and 9x g-969 from Cummins. I want next year’s apple grafts to have plenty of healthy roots. I also ordered a 0-32 brix refractometer, disposable socks, and 1 kg of GH KoolBloom powder. I may order materials for a callus pipe as well.

What size is 969?
Supposed to be be 40% in WA, and 50% elsewhere.

Do you have Indian Free? Mine never produced fruit and got curl. I’d love to taste it someday.
Isn’t Indian Free supposed to not get leaf curl?
I find it resistant but not immune. Same is true of Black Boy.
