Robinette's Apple Haus & Gift Barn

Tree Planting

The three Robinette brothers planting Honeycrisp trees in 2005.  Ed is driving, John is seated on the tree planter, and Bill is following along to position each tree.  The tree planter plows a narrow furrow and allows John to take a tree from the bins and place them down in the furrow.  We drive very slowly and try to maintain 5 feet between trees in this case.  Bill is making sure the tree was planted at the proper depth and stepping the soil down securely.
