Here in Maine we have about 3' of snow on the ground topped by 1/2 of ice. We
have bloom usually towards the end of May. Your are right about the chemical
input expenses. They just spiral upwards. The best we can do is to do a good
job of soil and leaf analysis and only use what is

Does anyone have any experience with Honeycrisp on G16 rootstock? We have had
some trouble with breakage at the union with M26. This has occurred just
to be added to organic-labeled foods.

I agree, the primary use of ethrel in New England has been to advance
ripening. As a thinner it is considered only as a last resort. Some are
using it to enhance return bloom on Honeycrisp. Art Kelly

We planted Northern Spy on bud-9 in 2002 at 5'X15'. Could have been 5'X14'.
Very little pruning other than to keep the tree in balance, Axe system, some
crop 2006 and full crop by 2008. No treatments.
Raining here today but I was up to my knees in snow yesterday pruning.

Jonathan, you are not the only orchard to experience severe apple maggot
damage this past season. I don't believe any consensus has been arrived at
as to when or how. In some cases it has been felt to have been early
damage. In others it has mainly impacted later varieties such as Cortland,
I have some rows that are 375 ft long supported by Best Angle stakes that
are in their 14th year. A Vert Axe system on M9 at 5X15. I have been very
careful to keep large limbs out of the tops. The Best Angle stakes are the
largest ones, 10' long and about every 30'. So far so good. We used
We hit 15 degrees last Saturday morning and may have gotten some damage. We

Hi Arthur,
I have about 1/3 24' rows. 1/3 18' rows and the last 1/3 are 15' rows. What
pressure and GPA do you operate at Mo?

Riverside,
We use 1/2 rate from both sides for the coverage as opposed to full rate both
sides. Also you can mix for one block and then either add the water or more
material for the other block.

Yes, it is relatively high density, Spencer and Honeycrisp on M26 at 5 X15.
The limbs average about 2 in diameter and the leader is around 3. Some of
the trees have 2-3 of these large limbs. When I pruned them in 2014 and pruned
out the highest big limb I often got a vigorous upright shoot
