Well, the little apple tree darlings had a nasty little problem from the store…. they had hairy little toes at the base of their trunks… lots of little sucker shoots off them! So… with my trusty NEW Fiskar Trimmers from Frank… I got started!

This one had a little extra bonus bush growing out of it’s bottom! That just won’t do…. they’ve had a little time to get acclimated to the moby farm… so this won’t hurt a bit.

Fiskar’s makes great crafting blades and such, so I am not surprised that their gardening tools are nice too…. easy to use, nice clippers. I’m going to hide these so that some children of mine won’t be tempted to be too rough on these darlings…

Look! A tree is under there!!!

Time to clip off their little store tags… I think I know whom are whom…. the two closest to the parking space are the Arkansas Black Gold variety… the middle one is a red delicious, the far back one next to the pine tree is a red too… and the little one closest to the door is a regular old Golden… Sweeet…. And look… a red and a gold each have a REAL apple on them already!!!!

A little mulch to help them retain their watering and we’re done!!! I’m pleased… they are doing well. We had one get a little shocky and wilt a bit, but we gave her a good long soak and that seemed to help and now she’s back to being perky as little apple trees should be.
