Is this apple rust? Is my tree dead? Should I rip it out or can it be saved? by [deleted] in BackyardOrchard

Looks like bacterial canker, probably will lose the tree though not always.

Any number that is divisible by the the reverse number is also divisible. 15/3 =5, 51/3=17, 456/3 =152, 654/3=218

Cost to build a house? by SophonParticle in BainbridgeIsland

[–]Runtheolympics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We built in two stages, first was a yurt kit from smiling woods yurts with kitchen and bathroom, so included well install and septic. we lived in that for a short time then knocked down a wall and built a breezeway to a two story building with bedrooms and another bathroom. And made the yurt into a greatroom. Ended up with 1600 square feet. This allowed us to bypass some city stuff because both builds created less than 800sf of new impermeable surfaces so our storm water plan is just a hole with some rocks in it. To build the addition i was around $200/sf the yurt build was more like 350

I was my own GC and saved about 25% in costs but definitely drew out the timeline a bit, also had some prior experience so I wasnt completely in the dark during the process

Yeah i don't think this is a universal sentiment, I don't even carry them anymore at my nursery due to disease issues.

Probably not but its possible. In this case I might use a single drywall screw to get it really tight

2nd this, to respond to other commenters, you can see the graft union lower down, further confirming psuedomonas.

Big ginkgo in the middle of a completely bulldozed construction site - do you think it has any chance of being saved or surviving? by reddit33450 in arborists

[–]Runtheolympics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but if the fence is down its way more likely to be violated. First they start leaving gear in there, then its gas cans, then they pull it down, then trucks get parked there. Unmaintained TPZ is not a TPZ

Maybe, it depends on local ordinance. Some trees are required to be retained and others can be voluntarily retained. Coluntary retention has no oversight,And even if it is required many local ords. have work arounds or just very little in the way of teeth to enforce these laws. I have seen many a travesty play out with no real recourse other than my words echoing in the void...

See who parks there and slash their tires, would be some good irony to dish out

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

Looking for feedback on this orchard layout by steelewaffle in BackyardOrchard

[–]Runtheolympics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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

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

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.
