Sad for AZ gardeners - it is a lovely state and if it were not for the water issues, I would consider moving there (or NM).

Figs are tasty & wonderfully healthful in moderation.

Anyone able to recommend good low chill hour apple varieties available in the UK?

I want to plant a persimmon tree in my small backyard and would like variety recommendations.

I'm in central North Carolina, Zone 7b, Trewartha code Cfhl. Last winter it got down to 11 deg F (-12 C).

The tree would need to be self-fertile ; prefer non-astringent.

hmmm... there's an old nursery rhyme that goes " 'round & 'round the mulberry bush, the monkey chased the weasel... "

But mulberries grow on big trees, not bushes. Do you think the rhyme refers to a different plant, or perhaps it's possible to coppice the tree to get a bush that still produces berries?

@urbanmicrofarmer Thanks for sharing this article. I wonder whether you're aware of anyone thinking around this concept in the UK.

I'm looking to plant an apple tree and am thinking of how to choose a variety that will be more suited to the climatic conditions of its future

I'm considering fruit planting in Yorkshire. We expect to be in the property for 5 years, perhaps longer.

There are walls along which to train plants. Two sections face SE (one about 2.5 m long , one 4.5 m long). There will also be a fence about 13 m long and running from NW to SW in the SW-facing garden.

I'm interested in trees but not sure it's worth the investment for just 5 years. I'm now considering Rubus and Ribes on the walls. Any advice would be welcome!

@urbanmicrofarmer Looks like a great read, thanks for sharing!

The #FingerLakes region of Upstate New York where I live is literally bubbling with activity related to this #CiderRevival. I worked in apple orchards & cideries myself for many years

More recently I helped create #OpenAccess digital collections related to #pomology and #cider making at the Biodiversity Heritage Library, as part of a larger series of events we hosted at Cornell's Mann Library

It's a little known fact that the greatest pomologist in living memory, #johnmastodon , was a silent collaborator on the research of many other great pomologists, such as Autio and Greene, writing papers such as: https://journals.ashs.org/hortsci/view/journals/hortsci/26/7/article-p840.xml

@krassina I hope next week we can make #FruitFriday a thing, with all things #pomology 🍎

Dear #pomology friends, do you have any good tipps on how to grow #quince and #apple #seedlings (for grafting)?

For the past few years I’ve been collecting scans of antiquarian books on #pomology. They’ve been the basis for private research and a few articles, and the occasional historic #perry or #cider recipe recreation. But I keep forgetting references, or losing notes, so finally put them all into #zotero! Should do the paper books too.

Leaves of a young #Gravensteiner #apple #tree I grafted this year. This buddy will grow several meters high eventually!

#Introduction I'm a middle-aged, disabled Masters student at UC Davis in the Graduate Group of Horticulture & Agronomy. I came to Davis to do #PlantBreeding, but my Masters project is on almond vegetative bud development. I have done & will continue to do interdisciplinary work on carob (Ceratonia siliqua). Interdisciplinary work and #SciComm are of particular interest to me. #Pomology #Horticulture #Botany #PlantScience #UCAccessNow

Anyone have a suggestion for an anti-ableist, anti-racist, anti-homophobic, etc instance for botany, horticulture & SciComm?

Loquats are setting fruit early. Normally flowering starts in Aug, but don't set fruit till Dec. This year many cvrs were setting fruit in Oct. I don't know what factors trigger fruit set. This year we might get ripe loquats by Christmas.
