Jim,I called the state nursery in SC and the sawtooths don’t come in until early to mid February.
I’ve planted a few hundred sawtooth, swamp chestnut, and white oaks over the last 3 years.
Jim,
Take a look at these trees. I have 1 planted and pleased with results.
DWARF CHINKAPIN OAK 10’ USDA Zones 6 to 9
Out of the first 50 which were in tubes I would say 40 made it, the other 10 were planted in not so great areas. I would say that with the tubes (if planted in the right areas) you would see around a 90% survival rate into year 2-3.Great heads up, Spencer.
With the tubes, what has your survival percentage been?
For the early planted trees are they up out of the tube and growing well?
Did you fertilize as you planted?
Many thanks !!
I’m hoping my sawtooths will have some mast this year. They are now going into their 4th growing season and are around 15ft tall.
The bare root are 2 dollars each at Wild life group. I am thinking about getting a few.Glynr -
Brief research shows that these trees are not as readily available as bare root seedlings - meaning to get them is more expensive.
Do you have or know of an outlet to get bare root seedlings - in an attempt by us to help lower the costs??
Thanks - love to try them!
Right now, my tentative plans are 100 sawtooth in 2020 and 100 persimmon in 2021.
Right now it looks like we can do each year for $5-600 with the tubes, fertilizer etc. We can use EMT for stakes.
I’ve thought about ordering some of those more niche oak species from an outside nursery but I just can’t bring myself to spend $2 a seedling. (I’m cheap)The bare root are 2 dollars each at Wild life group. I am thinking about getting a few.
You know how you feel when that foodplot first comes up?!?!?! Wait till you see the first leaves on a tree you planted. Wow!!! Is all I have to say.
