Tony's 2013 fruits harvest and newly graft persimmon tree
Comments (138)Hi Tony, Beautiful pics. I see your photo of Snowqueen nectarine. Can I safely assume you grew that fruit & did not buy it at the grocery? Seems like a silly question, but... most reports I've seen say that Snowqueen is one the most highly-rated nects for flavor, but is NOT cold hardy beyond Zone-7, which is why I have not attempted growing it on my vacation property in Zone-6b. Are you growing Snowqueen in the ground in Zone-5A Nebraska? Did it survive this past winter? If you are successfully fruiting Snowqueen in Zone-5A, then all bets are off! How old is the tree? From where did you obtain it? Was the fruit richly flavored? Thanks in advance for whatever information you can share. Cheers, -Matt...See MoreApple grafting: Early fruiting scions to late fruiting trees?
Comments (1)Makes no difference...early will still be early..and the other way around. So, good idea to put early on the bottom, when ready and falling down they don't hit the late apples....See MoreMulti-Grafted Stone Fruit Tree - Advice about Insects/Disease
Comments (8)As of right now, I have 5 different varieties on that tree. It's a 5 in 1, each variety being single except for the peach, of which there are 2 varieties on the tree. This is the third year in the ground and each graft has at least one fruit on it. The apricot and santa rosa plum have about 5 and 10 fruit respectively, after thinning. I also have a multi graft pluot 3 in 1, with 2 of those varieties being absolutely loaded with fruit even after thinning twice. I purchased a 4 in 1 apricot/aprium for my Mom and it formed up perfectly, with each graft growing about the same. Lots of fruit on it now. For my dad, I purchased a peach/nectarine 4 in 1. This one we had trouble with because I wasn't around to prune. We planted with the thinnest graft facing southwest, but the next thinnest faced the back and it is being shaded out by other grafts on each side. Those grafts have grown so aggressively that they have almost overtaken the 2 smaller grafts. I haven't been up to check in about a year so I don't know how it's doing over all....See MoreGraft Failure on Fruit Trees?
Comments (1)Yes, that is a graft failure. And no, there is nothing you can do......a tree (or the top growth of a grafted tree) that doesn't leaf out for almost 2 years is very, very dead!! Yank 'em out and start with fresh stock....See MoreFascist_Nation
