[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1690637, member: 12607"] It's been a great year for fruit here. Mulberries have been amazing. Lawson Dawson came in first, with Illinois Everbearing and Corral starting a week later, then Silk Hope coming on. DL & IE are about done, but Corral and Silk Hope still going strong. Chickasaw plums came and went... I missed most of them 'cause I was tired of ticks and chiggers eating me alive. Been picking anywhere from 2-5 gallons of blueberries almost every day for the last 3 weeks... and the mid-late varieties are just hitting their stride... late varieties are loaded with green berries. Early June Sugar Pears (2 varieties) have already come and gone. Niitaka Asian pear is already breaking out limbs... shoulda thinned 'em. Chojuro & Shinko have nice crops coming on. Frost must have hit the trees on the other side of the pond hard, 'cause I'm not seeing many, if any, fruits on those. All my early apples are ripening now... Lodi is about done. MonArk is dropping some early. Bastian Orange crab (our favorite!) is ripe now, Centennial crab ripening right behind it, then Kerr crab will be a few weeks behind. MacIntosh will be ready in a couple weeks, then Winesap. Any apple/pear ripening later than about mid-August here has no chance... European hornets, crows, deer get 'em all. Looks like a good crop on the pecans here at the house. Some of the young grafted hickories are carrying moderate crops. Haven't really looked at the walnuts yet. [/QUOTE]
