Wow. I could be very delighted if it
were pest resistant also. We have intense coddling moth problems here. That
was a major part of my interest in As a rule I am very taken with crisp
hard flavorful apples. Thank you for the wood offer. If you
ever need a goat I could send you…Never mind. Lol But I do have some nice dairy and meat
goats and I am working with polled genetics. Naomi Payette Idaho Zone 6 From: nafex-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org

Behalf Of loneroc Naomi, I grow MN447 in The single major flaw I've noticed
is a tendency to form small star-shaped cracks around the stem. I'm told
that this is due to uneven water supply and plan to mulch and water my tree
more this summer. The cracks do dry and seal over (I'd use the word
callus but that means something else to us apple grafters) but the cracking is
probably a fatal flaw for commercial use of the variety. The apples that
have cracks shrivel more in storage and if rot sets in it's around the
stem. I suspect that you'd want to plant the tree in a soil that retains
even moisture to help prevent or at least minimize the cracking flaw. My
soil here is alkaline sand--prickly pears abound on the prairies and sand dunes
here. I've heard that the Steve Herje, Lone Rock, WI Zone 3/4 PS: Ginda--I've got your
Wickson scions cut and in the fridge (cut before our last cold spell to -25F or
so). Is there any time that I should not mail them to you? Perhaps
you are heading off to |
