To label trees permanently (a label that remains for decades):

#Use electric fence wire as the tie
#Cut a small cut piece of aluminum flashing (3/4"x5" or so) or a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5BqXnGMmh4 piece of a soda can] for the label
#Use a scribe or the tip of a 3" screw to scratch the information on the label
#Drill an 1/8" hole in the label with a portable drill
#Stick the wire into the hole, and tie to a solid tree branch by winding the wire around itself like a twist tie, being mindful of how the tree will grow, so as not to restrict the growth in future years
#Lower, side branches are best, leave the wire loop somewhat loose
#On the label, mark the year the tree was planted or marked, the genus species, or common name, and any pertinent information such as how well the tree is bearing fruit, etc.
#In the optimal scenario, input the tree into an online mapping database by taking a GPS location.

Jacob Springs fruit tree program

67.176.57.155:

==From the ad for 2015==

Jacob Springs Farm is doing our annual fruit tree order.

All fruit trees are $20 each - these are bare root trees shipped from Washington State. Bare-root trees need to be planted soon after delivery and will be around 48" tall and various diameters ranging from 7/16" to 3/4" in diameter (depending on availability). These trees, potted, will sell for over $100 at local nurseries.

Come over to our farm to see trees that have been planted the last few years and to get an idea of how large and healthy these trees are.

We have planted and grafted nearly a hundred trees and have sold over 1,000 of these trees in the last few years with great results.

We have selected varieties for that will have the best chance of doing well here in Colorado -

Apple, Pear, Cherry, Peach, Nectarine, Apricot, and Plum trees are available

You will need to pay in advance and we will let you know when the pickup window will be in time for planting.

This is a great chance to get a bargain price on trees that would otherwise be selling for much more!

Plant an orchard!

Thanks,

==Labeling==
