16 trees ordered for the spring

Dan from Trophy Trees was great to work with and helped me select what he thought would accomplish my goals. 

2 Goldrush - late Nov-Dec drop

3 jackpot - oct drop

2 appleholic - mid-oct-mid nov drop

3 rut choice - early to late nov. drop

2 snow drop - all season slow drop through Feb (questioning whether I swap this for an earlier producer)

4 dunstan chestnuts

 Anyone have a shovel I can borrow?   Lol

Im glad he is to far out of the way for me. More trees are tempting. Good luck with the plantings.

A good late dropping pear is a good choice for late sept early october  just to get them.coming to.the orchard to begin with.  Sometime they drop late enough for a hunt or two early.oct

Here's my unsolicited advice lol. Protect, protect, protect!! 5' diameter welded wire cages (pro tip - don't zip tie shut to a stake, you want to open them once a season for maintenance). Metal screen buried 2" deep and 18" up the trunk to protect from rodent damage. 3' square of weed cloth at the base. Dig a wider hole than you need at planting, and don't amend the soil with mulch or anything. If you don't already know how, learn to prune fruit trees (and....make the cut...f you know, you know). These are basic rules learned through planting thousands of stems and losing soooooo many...

Good luck and have fun! Trees are addictive.
