What are you referring to when you say spurs? I have some I planted feb17. Some are nearing 8-10’ that are in tubes not sure if they have spurs
I'm just calling the spiky nut shell spurs...not sure what they really called but most trees are forming them this year. They will ***** you like a needleWhat are you referring to when you say spurs? I have some I planted feb17. Some are nearing 8-10’ that are in tubes not sure if they have spurs
I'm sure in time that will change. Good luckMy trees are kinda disappointing. I have 1 tree out of about 12 trees 1 has spurs. Some are twice as big 15 feet nothing.
I picked up 5 gallon bucket loads of those at a house offering them free "you pick".Nice work guys and they are good tasting roasted to me too so don't feel too bad about eating some.lol
I think getting them out in the light away from other trees is key and being in good ground.My trees are kinda disappointing. I have 1 tree out of about 12 trees 1 has spurs. Some are twice as big 15 feet nothing.
I'd say for fast growth it would be water oaks, willow oaks , sawtooth oaks, chestnut trees and best soft mast would be no dought all around best for deer for me is pears. They love pears!What are some of the best trees you have planted for deer? As far as good growth and bearing at a early age? Top five trees or shrubs. Hard mast or soft mast?
Nice....good mix of trees! Keep them in at least Partial shade most of the day and water as needed until fall planting and I bet the do great! You can even put extra straw in top of pot to help hold moisture and block direct sun from hitting the exposed soil around the roots. Works great. Good luckJust bought some swamp white oaks, swamp chestnut oaks, shumard oaks, live oaks, and some chestnut trees to go in the ground this fall. Most of the trees are 5' tall so hopefully they all make it with a little TLC. 20 trees all together can't wait for 10yrs Down the road to see what happens
I will get some soon if i can. The trees are getting big. I have circulation and past bloodclots in my legs and cant stand or sit for long periods so my sons been helping me out a lot. I havnt been able to work for over a year. they love all we have done to our place. Even if im driving on side by side watching them pruning and such. they love for me to be out with them looking at everything.Great, great thread. Lots of hard work, would love to see the tree pics from today!!!!
