I have a #fruittree / #fruittreecare question. What's this disease on my mirabelle plum? Most of the fruits are spongy, deformed, elongated, a bit yellowish-brownish, hollow. The leaves have some light yellow-white spots. I first suspected leaf curl, but the disease seems to hit mainly the fruits. It doesn't look like Scharka or monilia. There are no aphids in sight either. Any ideas?

I have an advanced #FruitTreeCare question. If I want to #graft an apple from a living tree via copulation, when is the best time for this? Now? Or in summer? If now is a good time, why do people bother with storing scions over winter?

I didn't get to cut my young Apple trees (2-4 years) yet because of bad weather and other reasons. It's going to continue to drizzle for two more weeks. What should I do?

Leaves of a young #Gravensteiner #apple #tree I grafted this year. This buddy will grow several meters high eventually!

#introduction (possibly again) I recently started this instance here to pay my due to the lovely #mastodon/#fediverse community after having tumbled around here for several years as @turion .

I love #gardening and #fruittreecare and will often post #photography of beautiful #plants and related things.

Ok, I'm slowly going to open up this server to people other than myself. First step is a "private beta" via invitation only :) so if you're interested in #gardening, #permaculture, #arborism, #fruittreecare or similar topics, and don't mind if the server is a little slow and small, send me a message to get an account :)
