The ones I grafted to Dolgo last year are pushing 8’. Very vigorous grower! Any CAR, scab, powdery mildew, frogeye spot, or any other disease/issue you've identified? I'm interested to read/hear about how the variety does in places other than here. If it grows as cleanly in OH, NC, DE, CT, other eastern/disease prone areas as it does here, that will be rather surprising to me. I've been surprised at how much frogeye spot I've got this year. Seems weird given the drought. I've started wondering if hawthorn is a possible reservoir of disease. Send me some scion next year and I’ll put it to the Ohio test.

Those 2 year old trees they have pictured look great. I prefer grafting my own trees, but if I ever go back to purchasing trees I'll probably look there.

Yup, I'm pretty sure I'm done buying trees that somebody else grafted. If I was just getting started with fruit trees and/or didn't know how to graft then I think Bluehill is probably as a good a source as you're going to find. Ryan does have some varieties you're not going to source anywhere else though...unless you know somebody who has one who'll send you a scion anyway.

They really need to get their shit together on the website. What an absolute clusterfuck.

I can't believe he sold out of everything that quickly? I had to sign into my account to get my orders in. I also added an enterprise, lockdown crab and 4 pears. Korean giant, rifle deer, hunter’s deer, and kiefer. First pears for me.

When I signed in I was able to see most things in stock. Some were sold out though.

Got 3 Smitty's seedlings. No luck on the Sweet Dog. It looks like he's still sitting on a whole bunch of Smittys stock. It may be good you picked a few up this year, maybe he won't continue to graft/carry them if they dont sell.

It may be good you picked a few up this year, maybe he won't continue to graft/carry them if they dont sell. I was going to throw 2 in the hills and one in the river bottoms. With the site being so messed up the other day I ended up with 3 orders. Definitely need to email him and try to combine and cancel a few items and reduce paying the shipping fee 3 times. My order of 1 Sweet Dog and 3 turning point seemed to have gone through so it looks like I'll get another of Art's trees. At the time of that order I had it to the payment part but it didn't appear to go through. I got a confirmation email yesterday saying it did. And a charge on the card. I really just wanted to try the Smitty's and Sweet Dog but got sucked into 4 pears when the site was finally semi working. Am looking forward to trying those. Never have before.

When does your Smitty's typically drop Stu?

When does your Smitty's typically drop Stu? It usually starts in mid September. Some will still be hanging in early to mid October. Most all will be on the ground by early November. You'll enjoy growing pears I think. Down there, they should be pretty problem free.
