Goodbye, Farewell, Adios, Au Revoir, Auf Wiedersehen
Time on the computer and forums is coming to the close for now. This is the busiest time of the year for me with keeping 20 guys busy landscaping, and me also taking care of 200 fruit trees. Thanks to everyone this past season with all the great advice. I really liked seeing the guys with 100s or even 1000s of taps helping out the new kids on the block that may only have a dozen taps. I hope everyone had a great season. Gods Blessings to you.
Talk to you in January, if not before.

Spectacular apple trees Trapper2. I had dormant oil spray applied to all of my various fruit and nut trees today. If my apples are half as productive this year as yours appear to be, I'll be thrilled. Next project is grafting the scion wood that's been hardening off in my fridge.
Have a wonderful summer in your orchard.
