If you want that apple tree to fruit some day you’re going to need another apple tree to cross pollinate. Most trees are self fruitful (i.e. can produce fruit using the male and female pollen from a single tree/itself) but apple trees need at least two. We used to have apple trees the farm I worked at. Good luck!

Ben, dont be surprised if the snake doesn't eat those eggs, sometimes they refuse to eat when taken for the wild, specially if they're injured. Good luck and great job!

[@thedeadliest4380]

@@bolandz4475 sadly no, some snakes will starve in "captivity" even if they have lots of room to slither

[@zebraloverbridget]

@@thedeadliest4380 While you are correct generally, in this case it shouldn't be as much of an issue since he isn't putting the snake into captivity. Just moving the snake to live on the property which isn't an issue. The snake may not eat just due to the internal injury but that is unrelated to being relocated. Also the snake might not eat the eggs because only certain snakes are capable of eating eggs. I can't ID the snake to say if it can eat eggs or not, but most snakes are not egg eaters.

[@tomnyskull]

@@bolandz4475 It depends on the species, the injury and the individual. One option to help is offering different prey items (like mice, toads, etc) of different sizes. Also, giving it a enclosure with proper bedding, enrichment, humidity and hides so it feels secure while it heals. If nothing works, the last resource is tube feeding, wich should only be donde by a professional to not hurt the animal. Sadly some snakes wont thrive and ultimately die, but im hopeful this one can make it!

My grandfather raised hunting dogs, mostly beagles and labs. He always put the mama and pups in his bedroom right next to him. When the mama was ready to wean her babies he would put her back with the other dogs and kept the puppies in a kennel right next to him even with the bed so they could learn and know every move,sound and smell of him. He had the best hunting dogs in the area and people would almost fight each other for them. I’ll tell you a little story about one of his dogs. He had a female lab one time that had past her time for puppies and hadn’t bred for a good while and was aging but was still pretty good to take duck hunting. Everyone had noticed that she had gotten fat and he said he was going to help her work that fat off. Anyway they we’re in the duck blind and she was acting kinda odd he said,but was still hitting that water to retrieve ducks. She started stirring around and all of a sudden she gave birth to a puppy. My grandfather about fell out of the blind !! Every time he shot a duck she went straight after it and another puppy would come. She did this eight times, every time getting a duck and a puppy! Word got out what happened and when my grandfather got to camp, EVERY hunter wanted to buy one of those puppies !!!

AQUAPONICS YES BEN!!! YES!!! DO IT!!! Seriously though, aquaponics is the future of sustainable farming. There are tons of resources out there and it's really not hard to utilize naturally occurring Nitrobacter/Nitrosomonas to grow your own food up to 3x as fast and with up to 95% less water than 'conventional' agriculture (dust bowl THE SEQUEL anyone???).

Something like that could be a good way to sell your eggs to people passing by your street who might not go to the farmer's market and make connections with the surrounding community as you gain repeat customers.
