Re: MM106 Honeycrisp
M106 is -very- susceptable to crown rot, you should have at least 2 inches from the union to the soil and only water once a week at most. Older trees should really not watering aside drought conditions.

Re: I live in Los Angeles
Well, 1st off. The Chart tells which cultivars (of the types listed) will pollinate eachother. Use the key included. Dwarf trees each have their own disease resistance according to what rootstock and cultivar they are. Not all dwarf trees will need support, but most will at the beginning and yes, so...

Re: I live in Los Angeles
For California, you will need low chill hour apple varietys. Fuji are self fruitfull but any apple tree will benefit from cross polination, usually with larger yields. Here are a couple of sites with huuuge variety listings. http://maplevalleyorchards.com/pages/home.aspx http://bighorsecreekfarm.com...

Re: My 1st Tree: Diseased or plauged, please HELP!
the white stuff is a mildew, either powerdy or downy. usually a copper soap will work, but vinegar and water may also work. the black stuff could be some scab. Not 100% sure though. I would worry more about the mildew. My Granny smiths have a bit of the black spotting also.

Re: Kind of Apple
I have heard of people enjoying crab apples fresh, but I have not found that kind yet
They are usually crazy tart/bitter/mealy etc etc. Great for an easy cider balance against sweets.

Re: Bloating caused from eating those yummy apples
Your average store bought apple from who knows when and likely several thousand miles away is much larger than your homegrown non-commercially fertilized apples. Most of that size is, like you said, water. They usually fert-bomb the trees with synthetic stuff to enlarge and eventually, water down th...

Re: No apples ever...
Most apple trees will need a second variety that blooms at the same general time, pollination and all that. All fruit trees should benefit from some company of a second fruit tree
Figure out your bloom dates (and you can go from there!
