If anyone is interested, I put an order for:
50 - Chinese Chestnuts (KY State Nursery) - $80 shipped
100 - American Persimmon (IL state nursery) - $75 shipped - (I'll try to change to 50, but if it doesn't happen it's only $15 difference)
125 - 5 ft Tree Pro tubes (waiting on a quote) - Roughly $390 shipped
100 - 24" x 24" Weed Pro mats - these are non-permeable for what it's worth (waiting on a quote) - Roughly $82 shipped
I plan to make stakes by cutting 50 to 65 10-foot pieces of 1/2" pvc conduit - $92.50 total or $1.85 per 10 foot section for orders over 10
I will buy some sort of cage material if I find some pear trees.
Total (without pear trees) - $719.50
Did anyone need to use a metal pipe with a cap to drive the stakes or do they hold up well driving into clay (and possibly rocks)? I think that should cover my bases...I hope.
Thanks for everyone's help! I better get a Christmas card from the deer this year!
