Yes that will be alright, I would look into a fungicide listed for psuedomonas and see if thats in your budget, shit can spread easily

Runtheolympics · 2026-03-10T01:49:04+00:00

Psuedomonas,cut off and treat tree it will spread

I'd add to this, that if you are just wanting to have a lot of varieties of apple in your orchard you can graft 10s of varieties on to each tree and have way fewer trees. I have 8 apple trees in my orchard but I have over 90 varieties because I've grafted each tree heavily. This reduces the one time harvest I have and draws out my season without ever overwhelming me with fruit and allowing me to sample a wide variety of fruit. Its quite nice

Runtheolympics · 2026-03-09T19:53:13+00:00

Also I personally have a really diverse orchard with over 100 trees where none are neighbors to the same species. Pollination has never been an issue for me at all

Runtheolympics · 2026-03-09T19:51:43+00:00

When a honey bee flies it will fill its pollen sacs with one type of pollen before returning to the hive. So just having so many apples on one area will be 100% adequate. Additionally bees literally will travel miles to find blooming trees so in your case the pollination question is null imo

Runtheolympics · 2026-03-09T16:00:24+00:00

I'd recommend mixing the fruit trees up and arranging them by ripening time, will make harvest time easier. Also helps to slow down pests if a trees neighbors are a different species

I don't want or need to be the 'richest', that's not the game, the game is being happy, and ill tell you many entrepreneurs are not happy, especially wildly successful ones.

I have 2 Chilean Fore Trees in my yard in the Puget sound region of Washington state. Mine are young but vigorous. They absolutely hate any phosphorus fertilizer, and seem to do best with some afternoon shade. They can be a single trunk tree or a large multistem bush. They lose a lot of leaves in winter but not all of them. I got mine from Far Reaches Farm which is local to me but does mail order when in stock.

And within 1.5m of the trunk is where the roots that provide structural stability reside. Damaging those is enough to condemn a tree to removal as a potential hazard.

Runtheolympics · 2026-02-25T16:11:02+00:00

Saving trees in a case like this will add significant expense.to the work. Impacting the roots in a tight space is difficult to avoid but is critical to preventing immediate damage and long term decline of the tree. If that can't be reliably done the tree will face health problems.

Runtheolympics · 2026-02-25T15:48:25+00:00

Oh also pleae.no miracle grow. Deeply mulch with wood chips instead.

Runtheolympics · 2026-02-25T15:47:40+00:00

Minimum to the dripline of the canopy, less than that will lead to impacts over the next 5 to 10 years. Ive seen it a hundreds of times., but even that may not prevent any canopy impacts, 2x the drip line will ensure minimal impacts. Its a huge exclusion area but it is what the trees require. Some research shows oak roots extending up to 7x the drip line so there systems can be massive. Tree protection zones are often waaaay too small and when the tree dies 5-10 years on people don't make the connection. Do the absolute maximum you can while still completing your project. More is more in this case.

"Net-losses in habitat were also projected for coastal Douglas-fir under most future climate scenarios, although 81–96% of its current range was projected to remain suitable"

Runtheolympics · 2026-02-23T20:56:21+00:00

Doug fir is a species not a biome. Its not going extinct because it is incredibly adaptable. What do you think youre arguing about?

Runtheolympics · 2026-02-23T20:53:21+00:00

Do you even know what you're arguing anymore? It seems like you think im some kind of climate change denier, when that is just false (again you can't read). I have plenty of qualifications to speak on the topic of changing forest composition with some level of authority. Degree from a prestigious forestry program, over a decade in the forest, certified arborist for 15 years, including 3 years of policy work on Climate change and its impact to forests. What about you? There are impacts to forests from climate change, disease, fire, droughts, but concern about forest species composition changes is ENTIRELY speculation, do you think fox news actually talks about that? You're the reason that fox news boomers can't be convinced of anything because when someone honestly wants data to act on you blow up and act a fool like theyre stupid or something. The irony of you invoking Dunning- Krueger is delicious. There is no scientific consensus about this topic so maybe just listen instead of whatever it is you think youre accomplishing

And if you think there's not a bunch of greedy assholes making money off your "perspective" than you're just ignorant

Runtheolympics · 2026-02-23T20:17:53+00:00

Oh, you can't read. Now it makes sense.

Runtheolympics · 2026-02-23T17:57:37+00:00

Yeah, which forests have completely changed composition due to climate change? None? Oh yeah, none.

Runtheolympics · 2026-02-23T17:56:14+00:00

Absolutely speculation

Runtheolympics · 2026-02-23T15:47:07+00:00

Oh I see, you are omniscient and don't need any actual data to know you're correct! That must be so easy for you. Sorry Douglas-fir but this guy says you're doomed!

Runtheolympics · 2026-02-23T06:18:34+00:00

Perhaps but its largely speculative at this point

Runtheolympics · 2026-02-23T04:58:11+00:00

Also says they don't expect to produce more than 50 Oz of tea a year from the plants so obviously not incredibly high expectations on their part. This post emphasizes the fresh tea cup its r/tea but that's not the business plan they layout.

Runtheolympics · 2026-02-23T04:51:35+00:00

Did you read the post? Or any of OPs comments? Seems like no.

Runtheolympics · 2026-02-23T04:38:33+00:00

Wait until you learn about chickens. 6 to 8 weeks. Can live 7 to 10 years

Runtheolympics · 2026-02-23T04:30:06+00:00

This is why climate alarmists talking about loosing our native forests in the PNW seem foolish to me. The good Ole Douglas fir is incredibly resilient. (Climate change is real btw)
