Did I ever tell you I owned an apple orchard?

No, you didn’t. They’re a LOT of work. How many acres? What varieties did you grow?

Dormant oil, rust, blight, scale, nematodes, canker.... lots to do to keep the crop healthy from insects and disease.

Not to mention the winter pruning on lateral branches to bear the fruit. Many of the orchards up here have closed due to EPA, DER, DNR, etc agencies regs/rules on chemical controls.
