[apple-crop] Seedless Macoun

2014-08-04 Thread Arthur Kelly
An thoughts as to why my Macoun apples could be seedless while the next row of Gala has plenty of seeds. Thinning was Maxcell at full bloom, Carbaryl at petal fall and Maxcell plus Carbaryl at about 10mm. We still had to hand thin a lot off. -- Art Kelly Kelly Orchards Acton, ME

Art: Are the seedless Macoun very small, or normal size? In two years of trials with Maxcell plus NAA on Macoun I found that the retained fruit was mostly seedless and very small. I have not seen this with Maxcell plus carbaryl. David Kollas Kollas Orchard Tolland, CT
