What kind of trees are they?

It makes quite a difference as the colour of young trees bark vary quite a bit depending on the variety.

I grafted some Canada Red two years ago and the bark of my two small trees are quite red. Canada Red is a red apple but I never saw such a red bark before.

I am thinking that maybe the unusual colour of the bark is due to the variety.

Subject: [NAFEX] apple trees unusual color

Hello Clan;

 

My name is Richard Murphy.

Last spring I planted some apple trees in New Sharon, Maine, zone 4.

This new orchard is in a hay field; lots of open space and sun, with clayish loam.

Last week I inspected the trees for the first time; (I live in Massachusetts.)

They all seem to have a reddish-brown color, the bark, that is.

They all were in silver-tip, and under the outer bark is nice and green.

Is this wind damage? Sunscald? Typical for young trees?

My trees here in zone 5 never did this.

Are the Maine trees going to croak?

Some trees had mouse damage (girdled), stupid ME for not using guards.

Even the non-gridled trees are unusually reddish brown, but fine (green & healthy) inside.

 

H E L P ! ! !   Anyone?

 

Thank you

 

Richard
