Hmm. I'll have to check. I'll have to look into learning how to identify a red cedar. Thanks for this info.

I ended up putting in an order for a semi-dwarf Golden Delicious apple tree. I also have red currants and 2 types of gooseberry plants in the order. I'm really excited to hopefully have some fruit within the next few years. I grow a lot of veggies, but not much fruit yet. Seedless concord...

Wow! Great-looking orchard. Good to know he can grow so many off the dwarf and semi-dwarf sized trees. That size also looks very manageable for my yard. Although I do wonder about theft from deer...

Does anyone have experience with any of the following varieties? These are some of my options for self-pollinated from Stark. Golden Delicious Red Rome Beauty Johnathan Red What I am looking for is something that is reliable, very cold hardy (I think these all are though as I ran the hardiness...

Cool! I'll have to look for them in the Cleveland Metroparks sometime. As for the variety of pawpaw I'm getting, I won't know until I get it. But my guess is it is a more native variety. I think the university is doing this for conservation purposes. Either way, I'm still happy to have the tree...

Thanks! And wow, all that grafting sounds like wizardry or something. Pretty cool. I'm still trying to master the basics so I'm just going with a single self-fertile variety for now (I'm thinking Golden Delicious because I like to eat apples fresh and bake). But this is all good to know for the...

Thanks! And I see you are also from Ohio. Yes, pawpaws are native. However, I've somehow never seen one out in the woods. Maybe I just have never known what to look for, but I also think up here in the Cleveland area, there likely aren't as many. All the more reason to plant them! And thanks...

Thanks! So are you saying since I am getting bare root, I can control how tall it gets by choosing where the first layer of branches begins (via pruning)? Sorry, I am new to fruit trees.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I was planning to prune this one similar to my peach tree (a few main branches with an open center). I was planning to go with the bare root, just since it fits my budget better. I hope mine has a better survival rate than yours! I was just thinking about...

Thanks! How tall would you say yours is? And how old is yours?

Thank you for this advice! So do you actually prune the ends of the branches to keep them from getting too long? I'm just having trouble picturing how to keep it from getting too tall or wide. The only pruning I am familiar with so far is with my young peach tree, which I am trying to get to 3...

Hello all. Does anyone have experience with dwarf and semi-dwarf apple trees? I am putting in an order from Stark Bro's online and I'm not sure which size I should get. According to the website, dwarf apple trees grow a max height and width of 8-10 feet, and semi-dwarfs are about 10-15 feet...
