Do you have apple trees? Fruit trees of any kind?

I'd like to. I have expensive sticks right now.

I have a couple plum trees and some figs. The figs have gotten frozen in mid-spring and have to regrow so I don’t get fruit...here it is August and only have one branch of fruit that hasn’t ripened yet. I am wanting to remove them because of they take up room and are a lot of work to trim etc.

@cherokeepatti our plum trees at the farm have really out done themselves . We made 300 jars of jelly this year plus eaten so much of the fruit . They were big and fat and juice ran down my arms as I ate them .

@TexChik Some years we have a lot and some years not, depending on if we have a late freeze. My favorite plum tree died. The fruit was red inside & tasted like it was mixed with sweet cherries. We got a good crop of those & it died a couple years later. I think because a tree near it had been removed & maybe they poisoned the trunk-stump of it.

@TexChik These figs are easy to start. I’d love to start the branches and give them to people to plant. I think they’d do better in Texas than Oklahoma because we get too many late freezes that sets them back so no harvest.
