If leaving April 30 (zone6), What to do about Fruit Trees Coming?
Comments (2)Last Earth: There is no cause for tension here, or even minor discomfort. I am sure the people at Burnt Ridge are ready to ship your trees immediately, since they like to move things along in the spring. If you are unsure about this, call them up and tell them it is important that they ship soon. This should leave you with pretty close to 3 weeks to get the trees in the ground and water them in well. You will want to plant bareroot trees very soon after they arrive. After planting, they will need no immediate care, and should not even require watering since it does rain in New Jersey in April, sometimes with great frequency. There is no need to leave instructions for anyone, since there is nothing to be done. You could be away for 6 months and the little trees would be fine, unless you have some very hungry deer in the neighborhood. If you do, that is another issue, and you may have to build wires cages for your trees if they begin to suffer real damage.

Comments (10)Oh thank you all so much!! Miss sherry, I only have one citrus tree actually planted in yard so far, it was here already and it's a Washington navel dwarf, and thought it was dead after all the freezes last winter and all the cats eating leaves,but recently a few shoots of new leaves started growing out from root, original tree (it's tiny) is all dead wood so idk what's going on with the new stems popping up, they are kind of on side right next to the "dead" stems. I need to plant something and get it established before I get bombarded with eggs next summer! Thanks for the coffee suggestions!! I always have coffee around so will try tomorrow!! Thanks again everyone!! So far looks like all of the cats are okay with the lime, had a few that wandered around for a few hours, I guess looking for lemon leaves. Lol, I had one 5th instar a while back, moved him indoors to feed him older satsuma leaves and leave new growth on lemon for the little cats, he had just molted into last instar, and anyway, moved him in, he didn't eat satsuma leaves or the orange leaves I tried and then he made his sling and pupated, never even purged, never ate one bite after molting last time, but he eclosed just fine and flew right off after a couple hours!! Guess he just didn't like change! �;-) I swear there must kit be a ctrr...See MoreWhere did this variegation come from?....
Comments (8)well, just keep some of the sport on the host plant. It's not very serious to you yet but that's such a beautiful throw-off that it shouldn't be lost. I hate to repeat what you've said, but in all seriousness, it is serious to someone like me. I live and breathe conifer gardening and grow myself. Thanks for understanding. What you have there is like me finding a rose that's unlike any other and I just happen to work for Jackson and Perkins... Maybe you'd be willing to send me just a few cuttings next spring. That would be excellent. Thanks, Dax...See MoreDo you unplug your tree when you leave the house if you have pets?
Comments (26)Over 50 years ago, my parents had a cat. Every Christmas, we would find Mehitabel (yes, named for the famous cat in the book, Archie and Mehitabel) sitting on a sturdy branch, right up against the trunk of the tree, staring at us like the Cheshire cat. Now this was a tree with that old-fashioned tinsel put on it, lovingly one or two pieces at a time (it took forever!), and not one strand was out of place. We never saw Mehitabel get up in the tree, nor did we ever witness her descent. She looked quite lovely with her eyes "glowing" from the tree lights! She was quite a character. None of our cats ever got up IN the tree, but they did knock it over during the night one time (nasty old-style Christmas tree stand). We tied it to something from then on and never again heard that unmistakable sound in the middle of the night....See MoreRelated Professionals
