Comments (6)If you are interested in planting apple trees, you might take a trip on Saturday, November 3rd down to Vintage Virginia Apples, just south of Charlottsville. They are an apple tree nursery and are having an open house with tastings and so forth. They are very knowledgeable about what grows in this part of the world, and have a huge selection of apple and, to a lesser degree, pear trees that they sell. And to make a full day of it, you could then go down to Edible Landscaping, about half an hour south of them, and discuss with them a whole range of less common fruit trees that they sell and see them growing and, in some cases, taste their fruit. Both companies are very reputable and helpful and have full websites....See MoreChart for when trees/bushes/vines flower and set fruit - Zone 7

Comments (19)I know you all are going to enjoy this... There are 4 stumps in my front yard that I'd really like to disappear. They were here when I bought the place, so at LEAST 20 years old. But the house was built in 93 and I'd bet that they were really taken down then. When I bought the place I drilled holes and added some kind of stump killer, and every year I put mulch around them to (a) help me not hit them, and (b) theoretically make them rot away faster. So I started to dig them up last week. The first one, after I've dug down about 3 feet: You can see that the base of it extends outward. But worse, what's left is AS HARD AS A DANG ROCK!! I could shave off about 2" of rotted wood around the outside, but after that it's petrified. I tried to shear it off at ground level using my electric chain saw, thinking I'd just cover up the rest. I'm not sure if you can tell from the second pic, but I made it about 3" before the 3 fully charged batteries all died. That was 20 minutes of cutting!! Next day, I decided to tackle a smaller stump; thinking that if I get it out and there's a hole, I could use the excess decomposed mulch from the other one to fill it in. I dug it out about 18": Same thing, the exterior was soft but after a few inches it's just petrified. I bent my steel shovel trying to dig it out, so I gave up and thought I'd try to shear it off, too. With this one, I could make it about 2" in before the wood would swell around the blade and it wouldn't cut anymore. So I'd have to cut 2" parallel to the ground, then cut downward to take out a small chunk... rinse and repeat until the batteries died. This is where I am after 4 days: It rained today, and I'm glad because my back needed a break!! At this rate, I'm going to be hacking on the SMALLER stump every day for about 2 more weeks :-O :-O...See Morevgkg Z-7 Va
