Friends in Europe tell me that they wrap a sticky band around the lower part of their apple tree trunk to reduce or eliminate coddling moths. Has anyone done this in the USA and if so, where can I find the sticky bands and what are they called her |

Greetings all, I'm new to this forum. This past year me and my family were taking a walk on an old farm we own and noticed an impressively large apple tree growing in a hedgerow. The tree is only about 20 feet tall, but has a massive trunk atleast |

I planted my very first apple tree yesterday - a 'Pixie Crunch' dwarf/mini apple that's supposed to reach all of 5-6 feet tall, if that. The tree came bare root and dormant. It's basically a tall stick. I can see where the top was grafted to th |

Hi, We had a spring freeze this year, and my apple tree has just 5 apples this season. The tree is leaning a lot to one side (the north side) as there are more branches on that side. The leaves are nearly touching the ground on the north side. |

OK- as I made clear earlier this week on this subject I don't have much use for 'em. But maybe I'm too hasty, and I certainly haven't been systematic or scientific. Today I was going through my tree looking for varieties that are ripe (not |

This year I stored various pear scions wrapped in wet paper towels in a large ziplock. Some I received from Nick Botner but others were from my own trees. I've noticed that they all seem to be wanting to form roots. Is this a common pear trait? |

If I thin apples now will I get the ones I want to stick around or will the tree come along in June and throw off ones it has already determined won't be staying? I'm not a big fan of thinning so I don't have much experience. The only problem |

I know nothing about fruit trees, so hopefully someone can help. Can someone tell me what type of apples these are, and what is wrong with them? The tree is still young and only @ 7 feet tall. The apples are a little smaller than a baseball now. P |
