Hello,

 

Did anyone else note that the leaves took a long time to die and fall from apples trees this season?

The crabs have lost their leaves, but the domestic apples still have theirs.  The crab that I grafted domestic apples to looks pretty funny right now.  Yes, this seems late for the apples to hold their leaves, and it seems like everything else is holding leaves longer than usual, too.  The oak leaves are only about 1/2 down.
