Captan & Pears
posted by: backyardking on 04.22.2010 at 07:21 pm in Fruit & Orchards Forum I have an old (new to me) orchard of apples, pears & cherry. A friend of mine told me to spray captan on them twice a week until June. That's what he does. The label doesn't mention pears--or I was hoping to be apple to shoot tomatoes in mid summer. Does anyone know if Captan should be ok? I think I have a bartlet type & an asian type pears. It seems from reasearch that it shouldn't be a big deal. Yes?
Thanks in advance backyardking NOTES: MORE SPRAY HARVESTMAN

10-10-10 fertilizer and blueberries?
posted by: languard on 05.14.2013 at 11:37 am in Fruit & Orchards Forum My wife is really worried about damaging our blueberries, so I thought I'd ask here for thoughts. I plan on using a 10-10-10 fertilizer on my blueberries, does anyone have any good/bad experiences with this? What about other fertilizers?

Hmmm peach tree leaves starting to bubble and look like this...
posted by: armyofda12mnkeys on 05.13.2013 at 12:51 am in Fruit & Orchards Forum Hey all,
My peach tree is getting these weird bubbles forming on the leaves... Can see the leaves that have it on pic below... Can see it beginning to form on part of the left leaf too. Is this nitrogen deficiency or a disease?

Good spray program for apples
posted by: johnthecook on 02.29.2012 at 08:48 am in Fruit & Orchards Forum hello. I have tried to figure out a good spray program for my apples. I have looked for past posts but never seem to get the full spray program for the year.I have dormant oil,triazicide, and immunox. Could someone just list in what order how they use these sprays during the spray season.I live on Cape Cod and have 17 apple trees two to three years old. I also have tried bagging my apples but can't see doing this when my trees really start producing.

Inducing a branch
posted by: glenn_russell on 04.06.2010 at 02:37 pm in Fruit & Orchards Forum Hi All-
I suspect that this will be an easy case where you just point me to a nice link... I dormant-topped all 5 apple whips that I planted last year to 42' in preparation for my open vase trees. With such a warm spring, I'm already seeing some leaf buds push which I suspect will become new shoots/laterals for my vase. But, my question is... if I don't get enough new shoots to form a vase (I'm hoping for 4 on each tree), how do I go about inducing one? I seem to remember a procedure where you score the bark down to the cambium just below a leaf bud, or something like that? If so, what would be the right time of year for me to do this? (Something showing me how long/deep the cut would be would be nice too.) I guess I also want to ask how close together should I aim to get these new laterals? Ideally, they'd all be at the same level, but that's probably not possible/practical/and perhaps not best for the tree? Maybe it's just aesthetics anyway? Thanks in advance,
P.S. Attended my first grafting class last night. Grafted a Goldrush on P2 (like M9) rootstock. Time will tell if my clumsy hands were good enough!

Tis the season of fruit
posted by: blueboy1977 on 04.22.2013 at 03:03 pm in Fruit & Orchards Forum It's that time of the season here in Houston and all kinds of fruit is coming across the table. We have been picking blueberries now for at least 3 weeks and wild dewberries, strawberries and loquats have been coming on strong. After the first week of my blues coming in I started to have Mocking Birds tearing them up. They really piss me off cause they don't even eat the berries. They just knock holes in them, tear off green berries and make a big ole mess under the plants. I still have some Rabbiteyes pushing flowers and I like to wait to put up my bird netting untill they are done but the last 2 seasons I've had to put it up a tad bit early. They are mostly done flowering but still a few trying to push. Attached are a few pics from the last two days at our house. Hope you enjoy them, I know I did;)
Took the boys picking dewberries yesterday after work. Then made dewberry cobbler for desert! My wife went to a friends house this morning and picked some loquats. I'm going to plant a few seeds in the front yard and get a couple plants going. Anything special I need to do for the seeds or just throw them in the ground? My boys picked these this morning. A few picks of the improvised frame and bird netting. 4 year old Emerald sagging from weight of blueberries. My early varieties (Springhigh and Snowchaser) are just about done. Here are a few more varieties that are starting to ripen. Jewel This is suppost to be Windsor. It's from FHN and seems to the wrong variety. I have a Windsor JF&E and the leaf and berries look completely different plus they haven't started to ripen at all. Does this look like your unknown Fruitnut??? Misty Sweetcrisp Premadonna Scintilla just starting to ripen That's all I got for now. As more varieties come in to season I will make another post. NOTES: BIRD NETTING
