75-100 frost free days, theoretically. I'm literally at the base of MacDonald pass on Montana. We had 4 inches of snow about 10 days ago. All I know so far about my apples, pears and cherries is that the neighbors all tell that they're very good. I'll have to try to identify them as things ripen this year. Just bought the place late last fall. Rhubarb is looking great! And there's a good 100 or so raspberry plants.
The leaves are ~just~ starting to appear on my apple trees. Zone 4A. Rhubarb is looking strong and the raspberries starting leafing out yesterday.

What apples are you growing?
USDA Zones only tell part of the story. How many frost free days do you expect?

ReplyDeleteWe cut our first asparagus 9 days ago - delicious! The rhubarb is good as well, should have picked it a couple of days earlier actually.
