Re: [NAFEX] ribes recommendations

Jackie,
Have never grown or eaten a red currant, but I suppose if I were going to
purchase one or several, I'd be going to Lucille Whitman, at Whitman Farms:

Re: [NAFEX] NAFEX Digest, Vol 262, Issue 6

Incidentally, isn't it about time to update this forum? It would be much
more useful if it was put together like this one- www.growingfruit.com
where topics can be searched easily for years. The format does cost a bit
of money, but members could chip in.

Re: [NAFEX] NAFEX Digest, Vol 262, Issue 6

"On the other hand, some varieties take longer than others to go dormant
(GoldRush is last in my yard). In that case, spring might be the better
choice."

I have a bearing age fruit tree nursery and do most of my installations in
the fall starting during the last couple weeks of Oct. My apples still
have leaves here in S. NY and fruit is still firm but I've been
transplanting 2.5 inch diameter bare root apple trees for almost a month.
I let the wind strip off most of the leaves while transporting them without
tarp protection- I see no need to wait for full defoliation after decades
of doing this. The strongest leaves at shoot tips that remain on the trees
do not cause dangerous dehydration and may help trees to establish somewhat
more quickly by pushing immediate root growth in new soil the fall they are
tramsplanted. I had seen a Cornell research project where trees were dug
in Sept and leaves were stripped where survival was fine. Presumably most
of the energy is already stored in the wood, but how can one tell where and
how much stored energy goes besides observing results? My earlier fall
transplants thrive at least as well as later ones and seem to do somewhat
better than spring transplants. This is all based on about 30 years of
anecdote.

Re: [NAFEX] transplanting young apple trees

Jacquelyn,
Yes, both will work. Depending on the winter you get, you may find it easier to re-plant as soon as the tree is dormant & the ground is still soft. Mulch well. If you have inches of frozen ground in spring, that may also be reason to plant in fall. On the other hand, some varieties take longer than others to go dormant (GoldRush is last in my yard). In that case, spring might be the better choice.

Glad to see you are grafting. That craft is changing my life, for all the apples in back are now from grafts I've made. That was not the original goal, but learning to graft is so economical & opens so many more possibilities.

Subject: [NAFEX] transplanting young apple trees

I successfully grafted (first successes ever!) some young apple trees in spring 2022, and some more in spring 2023. They've been growing happily in a nursery bed. I'd like to move them to permanent locations. May I do that in fall, after they're dormant, or should I wait till spring?

Thanks.
