[QUOTE="volsfan1976, post: 5480122, member: 5266"] So i am wanting to get some crab apples to plant on my property. I have already planted 8 apple, 2 pear, and 7 chestnut trees. No sure on what kind of crab apples would be the best. It seems there are lots of different kinds of crab apples to pick from, but of course i want some that bear fruit that hopefully deer will eat. Blue hill nursery seems to have a bigger variety to choose from so i may try to get some from there. My big question is, all that i have seen say they will ship out in the spring. If i go that route and get them in the spring, would it be best to plant them then, or should i keep them at home and baby them and plant them say next winter. i planted the apples and pear in the spring but kept the chestnuts at home and planted them last fall/winter. Cant really tell much difference but i do know i was delivering water about every 2 weeks to the apples and pears all spring and summer long. Also if anyone has any input on what seems to be some of the better varieties for deer, any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all. [/QUOTE]
