I just managed to save my three year old pear tree from a fungal infection (by the skin of my teeth! It was really close!) I have noticed that it has begun to flower. It only started recovering three weeks ago! Should I make sure it doesn’t make fruit? I really want to make sure it put 100% of its energy into recovering, not fruit. I know how much energy that could take away from the tree.

It shouldn't even be flowering right now. I would remove the blossoms and save it's energy for survival.

Started with honeybees, then discovered the uber-productivity of Mason Orchard bees, now have been trying out different plantings on the edges of my garden for observing other pollinators, like wild bees and many others. I encourage others to give it a try-they are fascinating!

I have 11 saplings that are 7 inches tall in a group. I obviously threw a bunch of seeds down not expecting them to come up but I’d like to separate them but heard they don’t like to be disturbed. Do you think they would be okay if I tried to separate them into pots to get rid of them? Any suggestions would help, Tia.

If you break the taproot of the seedling it will almost certainly die. Potted paw paw seedlings have the seeds sown directly into the final size pot so no repotting is required and the roots can remain undisturbed until planting.

I live in the PNW, and blackberries are constant threat to your yard and landscape. So i keep them out, except for one large bush just in case I want them for something. However I have never attempted anything more than just picking and eating them until this year. So far in my two attempts to make juice I seem to have failed at it. The flavor is horrible. I am "NOT" a kitchen/cook person. So my question is... In both attempts that used different boiled water methods, is it possible to actually burn the juice if it boils? Cause so far, my juice tastes like burnt dirt and sour blackberries. Yet every method says bring to a boil.
@RaintreeNursery
@RaintreeNursery 22 күн бұрын
I use a steamer and steam extract the juice. You are probably burning the fruit fiber itself if you are boiling it in water. Steam extraction yields a much better result and you're going to cut it with water anyway so I don't worry about dilution. The flavor is still there.

@@RaintreeNursery Thank you for the reply! My first method was place in water and bring to a boil. Then simmer for 3-4 minutes, mash and strain. It seemed pretty violent in the pan getting them to boil. So I assumed I didn't stir them often enough, and maybe kinda charred them on the bottom of the pan. Then I used your method *which seemed more simple than a constant stir), which also mentions boiling water for about an hour, for steam extraction. So I must not know some secret way to boil water without burning it.

SO, would you say that a 400 gallon pot would be enough to safely grow a plum tree? If not, what size would you go for? Thanks.

For a true succession I would recommend a male + female pair of Actinidia kolomikta (mini-hardy) kiwis, which will start bearing the year after planting, and ripen late summer in most climates. Then a pair of male + female Actinidia arguta (hardy) plants, that will begin bearing 5-7 years after planting, and ripen early fall. Lastly, a pair of Actinidia deliciosa male + female fuzzy kiwis, which will start fruiting 2-3 years after planting and ripen mid-fall.

So glad to see a new hardy kiwi video. I’m wanting to plant on my 6’ chain link fence. About 400’ on all 4 sides. What can I plant in front of this as another layer for inside our very large fenced yard. I do have grapes on an area off the fence (2 dog kennels) and have 1 corner of climbing roses. Only 2 plants. Should I take roses off & put on a trellis or arbor or okay to mix? Under my chain link fence can I plant a ground cover of monkey grass or clover? I’m in zone 9 Gulfcoast of Ms.
