Sure is great you got good moisture this year Brush you deserved it. I hope you have a fantastic hunting season this year!

It amazes me what happens in other parts of the country when we have negative windchills and over the past 36 hrs damn near 3 feet of snow.

The amount of 'leafs' refers to the number of times a tree has come awake at its final destination. You get a tree in the mail from a nursery and plant it, it wakes up, that's its 1st leaf, 4 years later is it's 4th leaf, etc...

In the north I agree @Chipdasqrrl this is normal thing up here. I don't believe it's any sort of disease or critter it's just the way they look when coming back awake.

Yeah we might plant trees idk....in May? It's -30 windchill this morning......whiteouts, the works. Yee haw!

You folks are still hunting? When does your seasons end? Ours in Michigan goes Oct 1 bow season (to January 1st), Nov 15th rifle to Nov 30th, Muzzleloader was December 7-16th this year, we had a late antlerless as well with any weapon from Dec 17th through Jan 1.

*Update* Michigan blow sand + Gala on M7 (from Grandpas Nursery before i started grafting) + time (panted I think 2013) = hard leaner, I had to stake that tree quite heavily, I have another tree, Cortland on M7 that has had no upright issues, same ground 30 feet apart. Within the same orchard I...

I agree with @Native Hunter , pears prefer vertical, you shape them a bit with using weights or branch tie downs until they harden off for the winter to get some space between. Otherwise you just let them go to the sky and do a quick touch up in the off season.

Big D you give God the glory for things in life and even in the down times you realize he never left you. Glad to hear its on the up swing for you. Its time for you to deliver the goods in the deer woods after the honeymoon, lol.... Sent from my iPhone using Deer Hunter Forum

Love the stories of folks keeping alive old trees that are passing on. Makes ya feel like your contributing some how.

Well run them successive during harvest season, you may not be able to do it legally for pelts at that time but if its the stuff i want vs some nuisance critter, its goodbye critters....
