I have before.

I was tempted, but I already have a few persimmons coming and I've decided I have enough apples.

I actually prefer the Tree Pro tubes that need assembly. 😆 Easy to clean once there are branches out of the top, plus for fruit trees and chestnuts, I like to use two sheets to increase the tube diameter. I do like the looks of the treeguard mesh RGrizzzz posted above.

Its mud season in NWPA. I couldn't even dream of planting something right now. Crokus and daffodils are just popping out.

Yes. I do have 2 at home that are probably 15 years old. 1 has blossomed but the other was set back a couple years by a buck.

He has it listed in the same column as swamp white, sycamore, river birch.

I have a forester starting a riparean zone planting this spring. He gave me a list of trees and shrubs that will be going in and what zones, wettest to driest. Pawpaw is listed on the wetter end.

Should I put them back in the fridge?

Update. I've had the bagged nuts out of the fridge for nearly a 1-1/2 weeks in my 60 deg basement. Not cracking yet.

Do deer bed in GM or use it mainly for screening?

Deer browse white pine and Norway spruce heavily here, especially white pine. You may want to look into white spruce. That's one my forester recommends. I agree, tubes aren't great for conifer, though I've made use of them for the 1st year or 2. I buy tubes in sheets and double them for conifer...

I started 23 years ago when I planted my first oaks! 😁 No baiting allowed here.

Surprised how well that one looks so soon out of hibernation. Going to be a big boy in the fall.

Yes. Love me some bear roast!

Possibly, 2 different bears last night.
