From jwlehmantree at gmail.com Mon Aug 7 10:43:49 2017 From: jwlehmantree at gmail.com (Jerry Lehman) Date: Mon, 7 Aug 2017 10:43:49 -0400 Subject: [nafex] NAFEX-NNGA-SFF conference speakers program AL Message-ID: <18229283-41fb-ba45-4660-784d62bedf09@gmail.com> Dear NAFEX member, It has come to our attention that some people are having difficulty finding the speakers program on line. It is attached to this email in 2 formats. There still is time to register. You can go to *NAFEX.org* or *nutgrowing.org* where there is a link to PayPal to make it quick and easy. Also we need your reservations for the headcounts as we must notify the caterers in order to have sufficient meals. If you send in a printed reservation after Tuesday please let me know by email that you have done so for the headcount in case your reservation gets lost in the mail. A limited number of walk-ins can be accepted but best if we are notified by email ahead of time, even if only one day. Very briefly, registrations begin early Sunday afternoon, August 13 at the reservation desk with the welcome dinner that evening with show and tell presentations to follow. Reservations continue Monday morning, August 14 as well as meetings and presentations. Tuesday is a full day of presentations with the banquet that evening. Wednesday is the field tour by bus or auto. For full details visit either of the 2 websites listed above. Hope to see you there next week.

Specifically, this year in New York, I bench-grafted some apples using whip and tongue or an omega-tool. I have a couple of questions. 1) do people normally recommend trimming back multiple buds from which new growth has emerged from the scionwood, so there is only one main developing trunk for the tree? 2) Also, may I ask at what age/maturity anyone who is selling trees typically sells them? I'm not sure if it would be too early to sell these to customer in the fall and if I should wait until next spring before offering them for sale. I am growing trees in 13" deep tree pots and rootstocks are about 1/2" caliper. For most of the grafts, top growth from the graft union is between 16-20" Thank you kindly for any experience you are able to share.

The serrated leaves I believe put it in the Prunus family and the bark looks very similar to cherry. It's too late in the season for cherry, I believe.
