Inventory: The Orchard

Hosui Asian Pear--- Gala Apple--Black Arkansas Apple--- Winter Banana Apple

Last Spring the Southeast experienced a late frost which killed all the buds on the fruit trees, and many of the decorative flower specimens too. This was followed by a drought, extremely high temperatures in the late summer, and then a Japanese beetle infestation.

Our trees lost most of their leaves, and were pretty dismal looking, so I didn't have much hope for their survival. But after a closer inspection yesterday, I was happy to see buds forming and not much in the way of dead wood.

So what kind of fruit trees do we have? Most of them had tags on them, and a few were unknown varieties, while others are familiar and still others are untagged, so they will have to fruit in order to be identified. Here's my list.
