>>>>>>>>>> Spring 2021 Update from Apple Luscious Organic Orchard 2021.
>>>>>>>>>> We have been busy this spring, but it has been a very rewarding time in the orchard.
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> 1) We have just acquired a German Heritage red flesh variety called Boddenbergs Roter, which brings our total red flesh varieties to 60. Two trees of Boddenbergs have now been grafted. We are hoping they are successful and will then be planted into our orchard next spring 2022.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> 2) Since January, 2021, we have planted about fifty new 1 year old apple trees from our nursery into permanent location in the orchard. Some were brand new varieties, while others were just a healthier replacement of the same variety on Bud 118 rootstock, for a variety already growing. Our goal is to have Healthy Trees growing at Apple Luscious.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>> Stern Api is one of the new varieties we acquired.

>>>>>>>>>> 3) We have grafted up about 760 new apple trees of about 220 varieties during March 2021 and all have now just been planted during April 2021 into the soil in our Nursery. Most of the 760 newly grafted trees, already are showing some good growth after spending a month in the warmth of our basement.
>>
>>>>>>>>>> They will ALL be for sale by next February 2022.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> 4) We have held over for another year, about 300 trees grafted in March 2020, that were just too small to sell this spring We call it the
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> Premie Ward. We will give them a chance to grow for another year and most will size up nicely.
