One reason my weekend participation in Wikipedia has been so much lower for the last year or so is because, coincidentally, I've been outside doing yardwork and gardening. |

Gardening is good - a mazing how meagre some of the horticultural content is on WP...guess it's because it's an outdoor hobby.

While we are on the superior (if somewhat privileged) subject of gardening, has anyone heard of the Keelie apple? I'm planting the tree in a large pot and am looking for more info on filling it. All I'm getting on Google are teenage Americans referencing their iphones, even in quotes. Which just shows how backward search engine technology still is. It think it's probably an alternative name for a fairly common variety, but 'Keelie apple' all I've got on the tag.

Neither Google Books nor Google Scholar have ever heard of "Keelie apple". Your tag sounds wrong. True, nothing comes up, but horticulture coverage on the net can be surprisingly patchy. Still, I have never heard the name....and it is a tad warm in my neck of the woods to get apples to grow well (winter too warm/rare frosts only) |

I have farmers in my family, and they haven't heard of them.
All About Apples doesn't have them as a variety. The USDA site comes up blank. http://www.naturalhub.com/grow_fruit_cultivars_apple.htm Meh. There are about 8000 varieties. |

I have a variety named for my farm that can only be bought on my farm. Better find out more though: each apple cultivar needs a very specific kind of soil, of course, and you'll also need to know the kind of rootstock (and interstock, if the Keelies are fancy).   <nix duplicate... Somey needs to fix something!> This post has been edited by SB_Johnny: Tue 26th April 2011, 3:49pm |
