[MassChestnutOrchards] Orchard Innoculations

[cbzampini at aol.com]

Hi Brian,

Glad to hear that you plan to come on Saturday. Also I wanted to see if 
it still looks like you will pollinate the tree you selected last year.
As Yvonne mentioned the catkins are out early this year so I am 
planning to send in the pollen request fairly soon. If it looks like 
there is
a lot of bloom on the tree I will request two different pollens for 
your tree (to try to prevent last years disappointment!).

Charlotte

Charlotte,
I'm planning to help at Medway (or elsewhere if needed) on the weekend 
of the 19th.  Weekend of the 12 is not good for me.

Hi MA Chestnuters,

I have been checking the orchards this week and believe it would be 
best to delay the innoculation of the Grafton orchard for at least a 
week. I want to get in there and weedwhack /fertilize again. It is a 
somewhat rough site on a hillside. There are about 70 trees there that 
need innoculation, so having a couple teams help out there later would 
be nice.

The orchard that we will really need a lot of help with is the Medway 
orchard, on June 19th, weather permitting. There are about a 
hundred-fifty trees there that are big enough to innoculate. It is a 
nice mowed open and level area with extra space to organize several 
teams ect, and with parking and playing fields nearby. I send out 
directions to the orchard shortly.

If you are able to come on the 19th please let me know. Whatever time 
you can spend is appreciated. Also if you have not yet been involved in 
innoculations, this would be a great opportunity to learn.
