Read field notesite of our new orchard, an old hayfield Iâve been re-wilding for ten years. starting with fifty apples this spring, and Iâll go from there. the limitation is mostly caging them for deer and rabbits, voles. rich heavy clay soil next to a wetland.

Read field noteaspen getting fluffy
forest floor is so cool in the spring. We have a mix of Canada mayflower, wild sarsaparilla and hazel coming up along the trails. The sarsaparilla is a good snack when itâs small, the little tripod stalks taste like celery
rabbits eat tree bark over the winter, and they enjoy apple more than the native trees. this damage isnât so bad, the lower limbs should probably go anyway, and I can just bridge graft the rest. next winter the tree guards will be higher, happy that I put them on in the fall.
