    Wisconsin Members - where's your "dream location" for land?

    We're selling our place and looking for new land 3 - 5 yrs down the road. No rush. I'm looking for: 1) Good hunting options. Not just deer. Grouse, waterfowl, and turkeys would also be sweet. 2) An area not yet affected by CWD. 3) Other recreational opportunities for the kids - nearby water...

    Bur Oak Plugs - what to expect year 1

    I planted some 2" - 4" bur oak plugs this spring. The ground is wetter. I put them there because the pH is marginal for SWO and there's bur oak doing well on an adjacent site with similar soils. However, they really didn't do much. We had heavy rain (an all time record from January - July), so...

    Bebb's Oak for yard

    I'm thinking of buying some potted Bebb's (bur x white) oak for my yard. They come from a local seed source. Most of the soils in my region are limestone derived and very high in calcium and magnesium. The soils in my yard are very well drained sandy loam (Casco sandy loam). The topsoil layer...

    Tips / Suggestions for an Evergreen Screen / Windbreak

    I'm looking to plant a screen of evergreens. I am thinking spruce, haven't decided between white spruce, Colorado Blue, or Norway. I had previously planted 3 year old white pine from the WI DNR. They were deer candy, and every single one is gone now. I have not seen the deer go after spruce...

    Red Maple Failure? Abort or Wait?

    I planted 150 red maple this spring. Many of them (80 - 90%) never sent any growth from the terminal bud and sent sprouts from the trunk instead. I waited to see what would happen. It's now August, and many really haven't done much. We also had record rain in Wisconsin January - July, and these...

    Boxelder

    What do all of you think of this stuff? It seems that across the web opinions range from "healer of disturbed land" to maple syrup source (apparently someone has tried this?!) to weedy junk tree to invasive species (eastern Europe, old pastures). Grows everywhere, and fast, but especially in...

    Wild Type Freeman Maple Source

    I know this is an uncommon request. I'm planting a flood plain area that's poorly drained, Zone 5a. The soil is still saturated as of today with all the rain this year. It's usually drier by now. I planted this spring - bur oak, hackberry, yellow birch, and red maple. The bur oak are doing the...

    Concordia Oaks and Swamp / Bur Hybrids

    I'm wondering if any members in the upper Midwest (Northern Iowa, Minnesota, or Wisconsin) have experience planting these. The Concordia Oaks come from North Central Missouri, but have Swamp White Oak / Chinquapin / Dwarf Chinquapin Oak parentage. I'm wondering if anyone has planted these up...
