Thanks Jacquelyn but I think I already have buyers for them. I will know in
a few days.
I will let you know if I still have them in a week or so.
Thanks for the kind offer.

I expect to have extra scionwood of pear and apple. Much of it is off seedlings, would be useful mostly for teaching a grafting class where the students aren't promised success and a fruiting cultivar. This coming week should be nice for scion collecting, so let me know if my harvest can help you.

[nafex] Awesome show on Englsih apples

Gang,

The fluffy one came across this informative video on you tube.

To me the large section on the Malling research station is the real gem (starts about at the 25 minute mark).

I really enjoyed this video and I hope you do to.

Re: [nafex] Reka Blueberry: Grows well in heavier clay loams?

Yes, Reka is much more tolerant of heavier wet soils than many or most of the northern highbush cultivars available.  That isn't to say that it will grow in standing water or anything like that, but it tolerates occasional wet feet much better than most.  In particular, of the early season cultivars I would say that it is far superior to Duke in this regard (Duke is quite susceptible to root rot), and has much better flavor than Duke, but the fruit is less attractive and doesn't handle as well, which is why it isn't grown as widely.   Michael   Michael Dossett Mission, British Columbia www.Mdossettphoto.com phainopepla@yahoo.com

[nafex] Morus macroura???

Hi all-I received a surprise delivery a couple of days ago-- mulberry cuttings that I had ordered from the GRIN germplasm database over a year ago! Several of the accessions I requested are listed as Morus macroura, which is what GRIN lists as the species of 'Pakistan' mulberry (others list as M. alba). I know that 'Pakistan' is very low chill and not terribly hardy (I'm in Vermont), but my interest was piqued by some of the other M. macroura offerings. Accession 'DMOR 9' for example, resembles 'Pakistan' in fruit form and size, and the description suggests it may be fully hardy in zone 5.

https://npgsweb.ars-grin.gov/gringlobal/accessiondetail.aspx?id=1564196
Check out the narrative provided for this accession:
"Information from Seed Savers, page 375: Large, 1 inch [2.54cm], juicy, red to purplish black fruit similar to blackberries; can be quite delicious. Small, wide spreading, deciduous tree grows 20-30 feet [6.1-9.14m] tall. Very long-lived, becoming gnarled and picturesque. Similar to Russian Mulberry in that it can be used to make a fine hedge; very attractive to birds. Ripens in late spring. Hardy to at least -10 degrees Farenheit. Grows well in Zones 5-6. Native to western Asia"

The only wrinkle I can see offhand is that it says the fruit is 1" (long I assume) while the pictures clearly show the fruit to be about 2.25" long. Maybe this is a simple mixup and the narrative is not relevant to this accession. Does anyone know more about Morus macroura-- its geographic distribution, hardiness, or any other relevant properties?

My thought was to grow a couple of these macroura accessions with protection in the hopes of performing some crosses with hardy M. alba varieties to possibly produce some hardy large fruiting 'pakistan' types.

My only known pollen producer is 'contorted', which is also listed as both M. alba and another species, M. bombycis. Do superior fruiting types-- 'Geraldi', 'Ill. Everbearing', 'Collier', etc. produce male flowers in anyone's experience? I see that GRIN lists "Geraldi Dwarf' as an M. alba x M. nigra, and I wondered immediately how they knew that and what the logistics might be of performing such a cross. I guess the M. nigra would likely have to be container grown and its flowering would have to be manipulated to occur at the same time as the M. alba growing outside. I recall reading about mechanical pollination of kiwis in New Zealand, and how they mix the pollen in a dilute liquid solution and spray that onto the flowers. I thought that was very odd and that it would spoil the pollen until I read more about types of pollen. Apparently wind pollinated plants, which are properly called anemophilous, have pollen with very different pollen which endures this type of treatment.
Has anyone on the list played around with this? I thought something similar might work for paw paw's -- maybe using an atomizer and something inert like corn starch to dilute the pollen.

Re: [nafex] Juliet cherry

Lee,

I've planted 4 'Carmine Jewel' at two locations in Zone 8, North Carolina (Technically Zone 7b, but it's changing). I also planted a 'Romeo' last year in a large pot. Not much to say about that one except it appears healthy in its first year.

The CJ's produced quite a nice crop in 2015. Flavor was perhaps a bit sweeter than 'North Star' (our current favorite pie cherry). The CJ cherries made a fantastic pie as well. The CJ's have been healthy and pest-free. However, in years when it is wet during ripening, they get a lot of brown rot, more than the 'North Star's. The fruit size is also slightly smaller than North Star. The tree (or bush, rather) is much thicker than 'North Star' with lots of little twigs. But it is staying naturally short and the twigginess is diminishing as the trees age. Overall, very easy to maintain.

If we get another year like last year, I will wholeheartedly recommend fellow gardners in our area to plant 'Carmine Jewel'.

Best regards,

Anton

Re: [nafex] Black and White Walnuts question

Jim
In regards to the buts not filling
In the last 25 or so year I have seen seasonal weather conditions to be
mainly responsible for this even like to much rain and not enough heat units
during ripening time

as we had last season it was far too much rain during the growth period
which was great for the trees bad for the nuts and then it turned off dry
with no rain after July and the nuts never filled so no goody in side this
well-formed nuts.

Wala it has been the case several year in the past 10 year and the worst
case is when it rains during pollen shed and no nuts are formed Nuts trees
are wind pollinated and the rain washes the pollen out of the air

[nafex] Black and White Walnuts question

I have encountered both kinds of trees that produced hollow nuts. Are both
kinds typically self sterile?

I tried to root hardwood cuttings of Geraldi and they rooted but never
leafed out and eventually died. I would like to know how this turns out for
you.

I also have the Dwarf Issai mulberry which is only a foot tall (on its own
roots) and is loaded with fruit.  I may have a very limited amount
of budwood available if anyone is interested. It is supposed to be hardy to
zone 5 but I have never tried to verify this since it is so easy to grow in
a pot.  It is supposedly a dwarf Morus alba and I got my original plant
from Logees.

Re: [nafex] carmine jewel cherry

I bought three carmine jewel about 5 years ago. I planned on in my backyard, and gave the other two to friends. All in zone 6, eastern ma.

The first year, one was eaten to the ground, but it resprouted the next year. All three have grown well since then, and were perhaps 6-7 feet tall last year. All bloomed a little two years ago, and bloomed heavily last year. Oddly for a cherry, they bloomed after the leaves had sprouted. The flowers are small and inconspicuous.

All three trees set a little fruit two years ago, and set a lot of fruit last year. All three owners caged our trees last summer, and despite that, the critters ate every single cherry of all three trees well before they ripened. None of us has tasted the fruit.

My tree has been very healthy. I've seen minor insect damage, and no sign of other problems. I pruned mine heavily last fall, to keep it inside the cage, which I plan to reinforce with a floor this summer.

Other than critter problems, the trees have been very low maintenance.

Re: [nafex] Juliet cherry

We had our first biggish harvest from 10 Carmine Jewels we planted
around 5 years ago. The fruit was nice, tarter than I expected. I know
you are supposed to wait until they are really black to pick them-- but
when we waited too long to pick it, the fruit got some kind of mold.
The bushes have done great here in zone3/4, with very little care, just
a once a spring mulch & compost. We also planted Crimson Passion, a
year later, got a few fruit last summer and it is indeed sweeter than
Carmine Jewel.

Re: [nafex] Juliet cherry

Lee,

I have very limited experience in that we have been selling small potted plants of Carmine Jewel for the last several years.

We have purchased them from North Star Seed & Nursery in Faribault, Minn., and from Sam Kedem in Hastings, Minn.

I have never seen a full size bush, nor the fruit.

We have Juliet on order for 2017 in bigger pots (two-gallon) from a Canadian grower. We also have both Carmine Jewel and Crimson Passion coming 2017 in that size.

Their reputation suggests they will replace older varieties?

[nafex] Now: Northstar cherries - Was: Saving cherries from the birds

Betsy,

I have been growing Northstars for about 20 years now...

They are very attractive landscape trees.

You can easily hold them at 6 feet so they can be netted completely. I suggest you prune to a classic vase shape with 4 main scaffolds.

The are susceptible to brown rot, although I usually do not spray for it as I have enough trees that I still get enough fruit. Also if you train as I suggested you can mitigate it through cultural practices as well as the application of a box fan after it rains etc.

There appears to be strains out there also, with some with larger fruit than others.

They hang well on the tree, and I harvest mine for weeks and week sat all stages of ripeness. But if you let them stay on the tree for along, long time they will become very dark and sweeten up some, becoming a delicious sweet-tart.

I usually spray mine once for PC, and that is all they need to keep the PC off them. I pit all mine etc, and now and then there is a larvae in there but it is very, very rare for me. So one spray it is.

Kindest regards...

the fluffy bunny

I have nothing to measure yet. My tree is not bearing. They will be
North Star 'sour' cherries.

I would imagine they will be smaller than the sweet store bought Bing
cherries. Does anyone have experience with this variety?

I would like to try this technique. What is the diameter of the beads?

Re: [nafex] Saving cherries from the birds (Good Fruit Grower)

We have a store here in Pequot lakes, MN called Weise Clothing but I
have yet to see any clothing there. They have stuff that I've seen nowhere
else. The part of the store that we are concerned stocks beads of many
shapes, sizes, colors, made of various materials and findings (stuff to make
jewelry). Might one call it a "hobby shop"? If we didn't have that store,
I would Goggle "plastic beads for crafts."

[nafex] My standard scion wood offer

Gang,

Each year I try and extend the same generosity so many have shown to me, to others.

So without further ado, my standard offer.

Pears
-----

Harrow Sweet
Harvest Queen
Warren
Potomac

Apples
------
Liberty
Dayton

If you are desperate for something else in terms of apples I may have enough wood for a single scion of a few heritage apples(most of my apples are on M27 and espalier, hence they push almost no wood).

Let me know if you are desirous of a scion or two.

the fluffy one

Picture this: You're in a grove of tropical fruit trees, eating oranges, lemons, and figs straight from their source. Where are you? Thailand? Sicily? (More info on greenhouseinthesnow is at http://www.greenhouseinthesnow.com/ )
