great video. honey crisp is not an easy apple to grow. that should reflex in its price. it takes a lot of sprays to get it into the supermarkets. many of my heirlooms apples require much less attention and dont suffer from storage issues.
I know! I feel sorry for people who buy and plant Honeycrisp and they don't realize what they've have gotten themselves into! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Nathan, so glad you enjoyed it! Check out this article about my apple tasting adventures as well....orchardpeople.com/tasting-apple-varieties/ Thanks for the feedback!
Hello, i have an apple tree in my front yard and it is may 9, 2022 and the tree has not sprouted leaves yet, it is starting to sprout suckers on the trunk, just started. In the fall the leaves at the very top stay on it until late and i fertilize june and dec with manure. It grew very well last year and thought id get a good first year of apples this year but im afraid its dead or was harmed in some way. If i scratch off the bark on some areas there is green under the bark area. I trimmed it early in march and im afraid i harmed it. It has been cold here at night and im hoping the tree is holding back until a long stretch of warm weather hits. I snipped the ends off of many small branches and i see the green cambial layer, what is your opinion of why it has no leaves yet, is there hope for it?
It’s hard to know but my bet icc so that it is S mix of a number of things. Are you pruning correctly? Have you tested the soul to see if any essential nutrients are missing? Is it in a full sun location and getting enough water? It’s sounds like you are willing to put in the work to care for your tree which is great! But you need to know the key things to do and why we do them. Check out my book “grow fruit trees fast” on Amazon for more info. It’s a quick read and it will get you up and running with a healthy snd productive tree. Enjoy!
@@Orchardpeople Ive concluded it was a late frost that killed off a lot of the branches, the main trunk and some upper branches started sprouting a week or so ago and i had some potted apple trees that died for the same reason. We got some warm weather then frosts, ill have to make due with what survived and let the tree grow new scaffold branches, im happy its not a total loss.
@@Orchardpeople Might be a good idea to insert a text caption where he says fruits absorb "Carbon MonOxide", as they absorb Carbon Dioxide. Would be a bad thing if someone attempted feeding their fruits "Carbon MonOxide" in attempts to make them sweet.
