Hello all:
Woke up this morning after a fitful night of
sleep/listening to winds and found orchard askew. Pristine (with no
apples) on CG-10 broke 2" diam. treated support stake at ground level
and tree snapped off at graft-seems like CG-10 rootstock grafts are a little
brittle; several semi dwarf on M7 blew over in clay-rich soil that turns to muck
with winds and rain (one tree staked after Isabel went over for 2d time)-will
try to pull them up and stake or restake them; also several dwarf apple trees
full of fruit snapped 2" support stakes and went down but they appear
not to have snapped any roots. Trees with 3" support stakes (all support
stakes from Adams County nursery) seemed to weather storm OK. Lost no
peach trees but fruit all over ground.
Clay rich soil turns to muck and with wind from
east-northeast rocking trees back and forth they finally go over. Also
seems like M7 trees in clay-rich soild do require staking!
