I saw blooms on one of my Kerr Crabs ! I think I should plant a couple more ! . I think I will have to strip the blossoms off of the central leader on Kerr and centennial. The fruit load will deform the leader.

I have a couple of kerr on my place, hard part is they are very difficult to find trees. It's not a common variety that is carried but growers. I think Turkey Creek carries them but you need to order a year in advance.

If anyone sees a fall nursery special on Kerr or Fireside. I’m interested in a couple apple trees to replace a couple that died.

I checked one of my Kerr grafts from last year earlier this morning. It's about 4' tall. Seems to be a good grower. It does have some CAR spots though. I need to get my trees sprayed with Eagle/Immunox next spring.

I need to get my trees sprayed with Eagle/Immunox next spring. Just got done mowing both orchards. I looked at a Kerr graft growing next to Smitty's a few times. The Kerr is full of CAR. Smitty's isn't. I wonder if being young makes a tree more susceptible?

My Kerr looked like absolute shit last year but I can’t remember why. I thought it was on its way out. This year it looks great and has a bunch of fruit. Hopefully it’s turned the corner and on its way to a productive life. 6 years old.

I don't think I've seen any varieties other than Wodarz (and that was a number of years ago) for sale at a MN nursery (locally or online) that aren't varieties developed at the U. edit...that didn't take long to prove me wrong I checked one site and found some non U of MN varieties theappletreeguy.com/product-cat/apples/

I’d prefer to just buy one and plant it ? I’m not sure what they (Battle Lake Nusery)have year to year . I bought a Chestnut Crab & a Connell Red I think ? I thought they had Kerr, but I could be wrong. Either way I’ll try to locate one, somewhere.
