My 1299 Wolf is about 20' away from a big old black cherry tree. It was loaded with cherries this year. Lot's of them have fallen into the leaves on the 1299. It doesn't seem to hurt the plant at all. Maybe it's foliar feeding! LOL
The coons have been filling their bellies with the cherries. I also ran across a huge pile of poop in a field the other day. It was much to big to be a coon though. It had to be from a large black bear.
I have never seen such a heavy year for all the fruit trees, even the wild apple trees are loaded with fruit and most of them are in good shape. Hard to believe. Usually un-sprayed trees would be full of insect bites and all kinds of damage, Most would have fallen off in June as they abort due to all the insect and disease damage. It's really neat to see such healthy fruit. Maybe I need to get started building a cider press. I am not sure I have time for any more hobbies though.
