Hi
You can get your apples picked when you join Fruit Share via Fruit Connect http://fruitconnect.www.fruitshare.ca/ for $10.75/year.

Hello, I have an apple tree and a crab apple tree that are loaded this year. I would love for families to come and pick as much as they can take, so it does not end up in waste.

The shoots or saplings from the fallen seeds can easily be transplanted. I have several. They can die off easily…. prune back in the fall regularly. cut dead parts off immediately. I have them growing everywhere…I made a hedge with all the saplings and they took ony a few year to get fruit producing. We move them when we find them throughout the summer.

I have a question about nanking cherry juice. Why can’t I use processed nanking cherry juice for making wine. It would certainly
speed up the wind making process.

Bumper year after 10 years of almost no cherries. So far I have frozen 12 gallons of pitted cherries. Thinking of making juice for us to drink this hot summer. How long can I store juice in the refrigerator?

Emily, Get a good 100% steer manure and pour it 4-5 inches thick throughout the dripline of the tree above ground. Dripline is defined as any area under the leaves. Water it well afterwards and throughout the season. When dry, Water deep into the soil with a trickle of water slowly seeping down.

This is excellent information. My nanking cherries have a bumper crop this year and I did not know what to do with them.

Hi! I read this post while looking for Nanking recipes. I have 3 bushes that are a few years old. My largest bush died and some branches of another Nanking cherry bush died. They are located near our air/heat unit and there is a lot of condensation. We have had so much rain for at least 12 months. I know that cherry trees do not like their roots to stay too wet. We have some small sucker-like branches from the ground where the bush that died was. Maybe it will not die.
I hope you have more Nanking bushes.
