I just realized that my only
apple trees old
enough to bloom could possibly be the same variety. One is a Winecrisp about 3 years old. The other is 10-12. I remember it's a dwarf, disease resistant, red
apple, but I don't remember the name. I may have gotten it from Starks. It was potted for several years before I found a house with a
yard. A year too long, I think. It's pretty much only got
roots on one side. Held up with a rope. It's never been very healthy. I've only had a couple apples. Red and very tasty. Does anyone know when Winecrisp hit the market?
I live on the edge of town and there are beehives about half a mile away. I could put one of my hives at the house, but don't like having them here. Kids in the yard. Dog likes to eat
bees.
Chickens eat them.
Should be some other apples around. I am I likely to get a few apples even if they are the same variety? I don't want many anyway with the tree leaning. Sure would like to get some.
I grafted a new rootstock on the old tree. The graft took, but a wind storm broke it out of the ground. Last fall I planted a small tree on the side with no roots. I'm going to let it grow a couple years then try another graft higher up.
