[QUOTE="gst, post: 23537, member: 373"] kdm, My parents started a pretty good sized orchard years ago and we are continuing their traditions of planting new trees each year. Mom was into grafting for a while so we have apple trees with multiple varieties on them. Have you tried any apricot trees? They are very good. We have one that is about 8 years old. We have had two varieties of pear trees that are about 10 years old. One grows larger fruit but the other is sweeter. Last year with all the rain the pears were the largest ever. We got about 3 5 gallon buckets off the two trees. I will have to ask what varieties as I can't remember that stuff. I'm just the hole digger. The apples produced twice as much as normal. The apple press and dehydrator ran none stop for two weeks. We planted both blueberries and black berries in our high tunnel last year and both made the winter. They produced a handful of fruit last year the first year. If they continue to grow I told the wife I'll build another high tunnel and fill it with both of them. Have you ever messed with blue berries or black berries? We are currently in the process of making syrup from tapping box elder trees. Long process but pretty good end results. We make jelly out of the goose berries, alright, but not my favorite. [/QUOTE]
