If you were to take out the cedars on your property to use as fence posts, over time you might be able to solve 2 problems at once. Just a thought.Marivenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13132799501322678149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-84192581757810775272015-05-19T11:14:36.042-05:002015-05-19T11:14:36.042-05:00I am both horrified and strangley compelled by Ced...I am both horrified and strangley compelled by Cedar Tree Rust globs. I can squeeze bugs, but that stuff would send me squeeing in horror in the opposite direction! I haven't had much luck with my apple trees, but I think it's more due to needing more of my attention than they have been getting.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-61468982693080579042015-05-19T08:14:03.522-05:002015-05-19T08:14:03.522-05:00Carolyn,

Guess we just have to travel north in the fall to get some. At least we have an over abundance of peaches that seem to handle the heat well enough.DFWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18345712839702427280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-23021504539941864142015-05-18T18:09:49.779-05:002015-05-18T18:09:49.779-05:00So sorry about your trees.

I agree--I don't see the point of growing your own if it's going to be a toxic mess like grocery store apples. <br />We have roughly 10 apple trees that were here when we moved in and they are OLD---and not one of them is ever sprayed, yet they are not bothered by disease or , for the most part, pests. Oh, a few may get nibbled on by the occasional bug, but hubby and I would rather cut out the bad parts than eat gawd knows what in chemicals.<br />I guess the thing to do would be to seek out old varieties that are resistant to whatever is a common threat in your area.<br />I only wish I knew the names of what I had---I have one that makes the most heavenly applesauce, a couple for fresh eating and a couple that are probably for cooking.<br />Good luck!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122524042294993949noreply@blogger.com
