HOLY CRAP!!! Now I am so nervous about planting my trees. I had no idea things were that expensive! HOLY CRAP!!!
I just bought over 300 trees of all kinds fruit and a few ornamentals. Long story short, first trip to the sale 15.00 each/ 2nd $7.50/ 3rd same trees $1.00 yes ONE each. By the time I was done buying paid about $4.30 Missed the last trip where I could have bought all that was left for donation only. The trees are about 3-6′ tall. SD, D and UD (uber dwarf) some standard.
Now I am second guessing everything I thought I was going to do. So THANK YOU for this show. (I think? hahaha) Perfect timing I need all the help I can get to keep these alive. Didn’t even know how much help I needed. Sure gave me more ideas and possibilities. Awesome thank you. Will get on this new project that just exploded to new levels, as soon as my heart gets back to normal rhythm. Defiantly going to have to listen several times.
Oh man maybe in my established orchard I need to take more care about what I am doing. My peach trees have leaf curl was just going to chop and drop. The mouse thing grrr some have done some bad things to my trees. Well then so have the sheep and pigs. Ok thanks again my head is spinning hahaha
Great info. I will look forward to signing up for the course, Central Georgia is lacking small nurseries in the area.
I’d love to take this propagation course for my homestead and East TN community. The registration links are outdated and Nick’s contact information is hard to find. Can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
