Spring has finally arrived and we couldn't be happier to work outside again. Our trees have been putting on a spectacular show! The native bees and other pollinators are out in full force working the blossoms. Our friends at Honey Rock Farm brought in additional pollinators- six honey bee colonies- for our apple bloom.
This spring, we grafted about 450 more apple trees on Bud 9 rootstock (very dwarfing), and planted them 3 feet apart in rows 13 feet on center. We planted Honeycrisp, Sweet 16, Winecrisp, and Zestar.
We also planted 3 rows of table grapes, 2 rows of black raspberries, and many rootstocks in our tree nursery.
Crystal is growing cut flowers this year- from Ageratum to Zinnias- and everything in between. Follow us on Instagram @underthetreefarms to know when the first bouquets will be ready!

The cherry bloom was gorgeous this year! We will be netting our trees this year to keep the birds out.
