Florina: A Pillar in Your Deer Attraction Strategy
The rut can be feast or famine, so why not just skip it? Shoot your buck in October bow season under a Florina apple tree. This apple variety brings a combination of dependability and productivity to your property, making it an essential tool for tagging out in bow season. Florina is grafted onto full standard seedling rootstock which gives you a mature tree you'll be counting yield in bushels not apples.

*This is a grafted tree on full standard seedling apple rootstock, chosen specifically to grow the tree as fast and large as possible. If there was a more vigorous rootstock out there, I would use it.
