Fruit trees

If I go back home in the near future I will bring some back.

Thanks!

I got a wild hair and looked up buying vines to start growing my own next spring. I've got the space.

Found a place that REALLY wants you to buy bulk. $11 per vine.
But at 51, it drops to like $2.50.
Buuuuut, above 50 you have to buy in bundles of 25.
$550 for 50 vines.
Cant buy 51 at that discounted price so next interval is 75 vines. A whopping $180.

Looks like I might be selling vines next spring for anyone who wants a few.

I have a couple of peach trees that I planted just a few years ago.
I have no bug problems in trees or in the garden. It may be at least partly due to me encouraging chickadee and nuthatches to be over populated in my woods. I feed them from fall until the bugs start showing up(just black oil sunflower seeds). Not as tamed as the ones I had in for the same reason in Minnesota that would eat out of my hand(around 50 different birds), but a few will and more will over time.
Want less bugs, over populate those two species in your area

Interesting my Concords look good, but the two non Concord varieties have what I believe is black rot as well.

I've read the Purdue Extension Pamphlet on grapes a couples of times, but haven't found what I need. How is the black rot stopped/contained?

At one time, and maybe still. Purdue had a program where you sent them a cutting of the plant, tree, bush. They tested it and sent you name of problem and how to solve it.

They saved my evergreens. Lack of iron. Chelated iron spread on surface. Trees are over 30 ft. And beautiful.

Pruning and cleaning helps, and an application of low concentration copper sulfate, but it's mainly weather related.

Our peaches were loaded this year, about to pick the last of them! Squirrels got all my plums
