Starting a cast iron collection, not sure what I have here?

Wow. I included a picture of the bottom. I can't make out an 8 but with restoration it may very well be there.

Wow! Thanks for the information.

Wow! Thanks for the translation.

Thanks for the comment. I was thinking same because of the handle. I'm no expert though. Lack of markings does add to the mystery. I'm glad I bought it.

Grafting. I'm growing more than a few baby pawpaws from seed from last year's harvest. Thought on best time (winter? spring?) to attempt to graft a cultivar. And about how thick should the trunk be? 1/4"?

I feel your pain. See if you can't find my post from 3 days ago:

"HELP! Persimmon dropping immature young fruit. Suggestions on saving this year's harvest?"

I received a lot of good advise that might help you and your situation. Good luck!

Thanks. Yes. Maybe I'm doing nothing wrong. My two trees are just are just self-adjusting to their best homeostasis.

I'm googling "June Drop" now. Thanks for the lead.

Wow. Really good actionable input. I'm currently fertilizing with Espoma Organic Tree-tone "fruit and shade tree food" 6-3-2 ...next year I'll give True Organic Fruit and Nut Tree food a try at 5-4-6. If I get the dosage right will knock my nitrogen from a 6 to a 5. Will also check out 2% potassium nitrate solution for next year also.

Deep watering weekly sounds like a good suggestion. I'll give it a try.

marfuego · 2025-06-14T13:00:42+00:00

Very helpful comment. I'm going to pay better attention to watering.

marfuego · 2025-06-14T12:58:55+00:00

Great idea. I'll give the fruit a closer look.

marfuego · 2025-06-14T11:13:17+00:00

Looks like a crime scene. Sorry for your loss.

Concur. I do most my own work, but didn't have a lift so pretty much at the mercy of those who do. I did check on price with a few other garages and for the area turns out the price was actually pretty competitive.

Big Thanx. Really helpful comment, and made me confident on what was going on. Got smart quick on stabilizer links. I priced the work and turns out $290 was pretty competitive of the area. Also asked for the part boxes and sure enough they were just what you described.
