Anyone order from them this year? I ordered some Steudel & Bebbs oaks from them last August, but just got an email they are out of the Steudel's. I'm bummed because that was the main reason I ordered in the first place.

We are planning to build a cabin on our hunting property in the next few years. I have some nice hybrid oaks that I'd like to baby along and eventually plant around the cabin. I've never used rootmaker pots, but I assume that would be the way to go. Any suggestions for sizes or how to go about...

Looking for a dozen or 2. I'll have English, sawtooth and a couple English x White crosses for trade. Thanks!

... like a message from God, I get a new email notification. I had been been thinking about persimmon lately and how I can't seem to time the order. The varieties I'm interested in always seem to be sold out in an instant. Last night we had an old movie on and I was casually searching for...

My boy is involved in the flyover at the Mariners game tonight and then they are all supposed to be recognized after the 6th inning.

What's up with that? I've got new blossoms on an Empire, that I grafted this year, and a Nova Spy, that's about 5 years old. I've never seen apples do this before.

Let me know if anyone wants some. I just saw the first English drop yesterday, but most are still green. Sawtooth are almost ready, but I haven't even seen a squirrel in them yet.

Got home last night from attending my boy's graduation from army aviation in Alabama this past Thursday. It's pretty sureal thinking he's an Apache pilot! Seems like yesterday I was coaching his t-ball team! Here are a couple photos. Boy and myself Boy showing me how to fly (seems easy!🤪) A...

It's my understanding oaks can self pollinate, but set fruit much better with another tree in the family nearby. So, my assumption is that if an oak has acorns forming, it most likely has been pollinated by another close by tree, correct? I have a chinkapin oak that has acorns for the first time...

I don't remember seeing these before. Maybe something to do with catkins, i hope?

This summer will be 20 years since I started planting oaks on our home property. The English and Sawtooth have been producing for more than 10 years. I had a couple years of production with the chestnut oak. This year is different. For the first time, one of my swamp chestnut oaks, a swamp white...

I'm thinking about getting a crosscut for backup to my chainsaws, just incase. Probably a 4', single man saw. I'm concerned about sharpening and setting the teeth. I've heard new saws are hardened in a way that makes some them difficult or impossible to sharpen. Do any of you have any...

At my business, we receive alot of boxes. I've thought about tearing them down and putting them around my trees for mulch. Also, I've been saving shredder paper for this. Anyone doing this? Do you see any potential issues? I don't keep or shred anything with lots of ink, BTW. Thanks

This is probably a long shot. Looking for new brass, preferably Lapua, but interested in others as well. I know this isn't the classifieds section, but thought I may get more appropriate views here. Thanks!

Here's a dandy. A guy I know, we'll just say he's my brother to protect the innocent, got this one on his own small farm. He walked up within 60-80 yards of him as he was rubbing a tree, 3 days into PA's rifle season, middle of the day! He had pictures of him last year running with the other...

The more I read about apple varieties, the more I get overwhelmed. I'm looking for just a couple varieties with drop times to cover October through December. This would be in a no spray, little to no prune situation. Northwest PA, zone 5. I have a few planted from Bluehill, but they are young...

I've slowly been releasing the wild apples and pears on my hunting property. Seeing some good results this year! I don't know how big they'll get, but they look nice now.

Spent a little time today dropping some soft maples to open up more northern reds and black cherry.

I spent the weekend pulling trees out of the woods that I had previously dropped. The hardest part was swinging my old Farm Boss around limbing the trees. I had rotator cuff surgery a couple years ago and it hasn't been right since. It's time for a lighter saw for this kind of work. Looking for...

He may be a little optimistic of early production, though.
