I'm also currently fighting the urge to run down to Sauk and check to see if Tree Top has any late dropping apples left. I've got a new spot where I'd like to have one or three late droppers.

I swore off planting anymore trees besides fruit trees in the yard, but my neighbor called me up a couple days ago saying he's taking a field out of crp that has a bunch of 2' spruce and pines in it. He asked if I'd want some for along my road edge. He said he had a spade point for his skidsteer and would dig the holes for me and everything. I was like, "Sure! ". So now I'm getting a road screen put in, and all I have to do is fill the top off with dirt and water them in. Not a bad deal.

[br If you do go to Sauk and see any deals, or anything interesting/new let me know. I forgot about their fall specials! There's no real "deals". Just 35% off trees. I picked up this Haralson for $60. They had some huge Chestnut and Whitney trees. Also some nice Dolgos. They had a few Haralson, Triumph, Haralred, and State Fairs. Maybe a couple others I missed.

What rootstock is on that Haralson? That's a nice looking tree, you'll need a big cage for that one.

None of those large laterals are going to stick around when I plant it. It's a very nice looking tree and if I was planting it in my yard, I'd keep the laterals. The laterals aren't going to make it long term in the woods, and I like to cut back potted trees a lot when planting out.

Ryan is still trying to source some good quality dolgo rootstock FWIW...dolgo seedlings/rootstock you'd get from Ryan or anyone else may or may not have some resemblance to a grafted Dolgo.

Id like to add another 10 or so next year but a guy needs to order something like 30 from Kelly’s to get to the minimum order value to ship. So if any of you MN guys want to split an order I’d probably be interested. Almost all of my seedlings from this year look great and I didn’t supplemental water any beyond once for a few at my house. Regal prince is the other hybrid id be interested in.
