Newly grafted apple trees starting to leaf out!

Grafted 30 apple trees this spring and so far 20 of the 30 are pushing out leaves. The big challenge is keeping them alive through the heat of the summer.

The strawberries in the understory are coming in nicely as well. They help to compete with the grass but not with the apples making for less weeding all while giving us a yeild of strawberries too.
