Black Diamond apples are a rare and striking variety of Hua Niu apples, known for their deep purple skin that appears almost black. Grown in the high-altitude regions of Tibet, they develop their unique color due to strong sunlight and cold nighttime temperatures. These apples are not only visually stunning but also sweet and crisp, making them highly prized and expensive.

@LynnSosnoskie Linnaeus is spinning in his grave.

[Mark Longstroth @MIbluedoc]

@LynnSosnoskie Having worked professionally with both crops, I can only sigh and mutter, "You can't fix stupid."

[Mark Longstroth @MIbluedoc]

@LynnSosnoskie No! Nice to see professional, informative posts. Of course, I am biased towards agriculture.

@keeper_orchard I have no idea what the baseline cold hardiness in pecans is or what the chilling requirements are. Best of luck

[Mark Longstroth @MIbluedoc]

@keeper_orchard I used the breath stuff this every winter in Michigan

[Mark Longstroth @MIbluedoc]

@keeper_orchard That's good. Should be as dormant and winter hardy as possible. Were there signs of spring growth? I used to force cuttings to see when chilling was completed

[Mark Longstroth @MIbluedoc]

@keeper_orchard How warm were the lows the previous week?

[Mark Longstroth @MIbluedoc]

@keeper_orchard How cold?

[Mark Longstroth @MIbluedoc]

@LynnSosnoskie Merry Christmas to you as well 🎆

The richest man in the world says Americans must suffer the "hardship" of $2 trillion in cuts to public spending, while he still gets tax cuts, government contracts, and corporate welfare. No wonder I got a little angry talking about it.
