THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER -
chardman Finds Many Apple Trees
w With Leaves, Might Soon Die
ILMER, president of the North Carolina Friends of the
eiety, shows some of the "potent points" of a ramp to
iralina Secretary of State Thad Eure?"speaker for life"
lywood Ramp Convention. i
"By 'August I believe the leaves I -
un a lot of Haywood apple trees ?
! will begin to turn yellow, and shed ?
I 40 lo 60 days ahead of time. That , *
i will mean death approaching the ?
I tree," Zack Massey, orchardman ?
! predicted this week. "Of course. ?
| there are many factors to be tak- ?
en into consideration, which I j ?
hope will change the picture," he , *
continued. *
Massey said a close inspection *
of his orchard showed that about *
one out of every five trees would | *
be dead within two years. ] *
"Just take a knife and cut below
the bark, to the sap, and if the ;
wood is brown, that is pretty good : *
indication the tree will not survive
the next two years," he said. '
- Massey pointed out that the m
presence of green leaves now dots m
not mean the tree is not perma- #
nently damaged. Most of the leaves m
are not normal, he said" #
The orchardman said he had a *
few blooms on some trees, but the *
blooms were of an inferior grade *
and would not "set". By that, he ex- ?
Dlained. the blooms would not ma- *
ture Into suitable fruit. ?
He found in his orchard that the *
Romp Beauty. Grimes Golden and *
Jonathan trees suffered the great- ; *
est damage in the recent freezg. ?
He expects 100 of his 500 trees to *
die. Manv of the trees are 8 to f2 *
vears of age. *
"I have some trees where just
half the tree is dead, and the other j.
half living. I care for one orchard .
where there is. a cherrv tree, with a
24-inch diameter, and the- freeze -
killed it. All neach trees that I v
have seen are killed, and thus far,
I have reset 22 cherry trees."
Massey emphasized again that lo- u
1 cation, and other factors, such as c
(soil, entered into the picture of c
determining the final degree in t
