Maybe I should introduce myself. I joined the nafex list a couple of weeks ago and haven't had time to do much since then. I live in central Iowa in zone 5a. I have about 1100 trees. Apples, plums, peaches, apricots, nectarines, cherries,pears, blackberries and grapes. I have about 70 varieties of apples and 50 varieties of peaches planted. Most of my trees are not old enough to produce. Many of the apples are of old varieties. I need to learn how to graft and also how to raise trees from seed. I have been trying that without much luck. I have been following the emails from this group and it is facinating. Everyone seems to know so much about how to raise fruit that I think I have come to the right place. This year we had a freeze in April and I have no fruit this year. Has this happened to anyone else?
