It's not any one thing for me, but deep at it's core I love and have a passion for 2 things that drive habitat improvement for me. The first is the obvious love of the outdoors, don't need to go more into this, but anything that can get me outside, I'm all in. The second is a desire to tinker...

Yeah I was originally drawn to them because their doug firs were the cheapest around, even compared to local. I will still reserve judgment based on what I receive though. There's 2 schools of thought here. Those that don't have the time or property to scavenge for trees and those who don't...

I would hope mine ships soon as well, although we have time in the northeast. I'm waiting on my whitetail hill chestnuts and persimmons that I ordered on black friday too

Placed a smallish sub $200 order yesterday for some doug firs I want to plant as a property privacy wall and threw some 2'-3' white oaks in the cart. They are by far the cheapest for doug firs and reasonable for the oaks. Will update this thread if it's a sh!t show or if it turns out well.

Interesting and I'd wonder too. Sure you're going to lose some growth as its transplanted, but I guess I'm not sure I could see the seedlings catching up? Any science to support this?

yeah that's exactly why I drove almost an hour because you just don't find these. They were roughly $40 a piece, and at that height I felt that was a pretty damn good price.

that was my thought too, thanks for confirming guys. We're pretty close to leaf out in NY anyhow.

So I made the 50 minute drive both ways to the nursery that was recommended. He was smaller than I had imagined, but I like supporting small bussinesses. It was a piss poor day raining and muddy. Helped him dig out the trees which were potted, but burried in mud and mulch. In the commotion it...

appreciate the feedback all. thanks.

Has anyone ever ordered from these folks? I subscribe to "if it looks to good to be true" and their prices seem just that for some of the oaks and conifers I was looking at. At least compared to some other online retailers. Or maybe their prices are good and I'm just new to this. Recommend some...

eh just a few weeks. There was a chance, but yeah it seems closed now.

help me understand why a hybrid is better than native? I see so many mixed opinions here. Is it truly ford vs chevy here? I'm in zone 6.

We know oaks take a while, which is why I think people tend to go with food plots and chestnuts... just lack of patience. But I don't think an oak can be beaten for great habitat. I will probably spend a little more to buy some oaks that are a few years old already and maybe that helps get me a...

Will do thanks.

Coming back to this thread as the planting season is near. I have canceled my order of sawtooth oak and I'm now looking at native oaks. I will plant 2 or 3 swamp oaks in an area that isn't well drained. In my open field area I'd like to plant 4 to 6. My choices from a local nursery varying in...

damn I could have used this a while back haha

Thanks. What part of the country are you in?

Appreciate this advice. It would be a very sunny area, but you've given me something to think about with drop and snowfall.

It's an old semi-commercial orchard and more than I can handle. At this point it's sort of trying to stop thing from completely falling apart and as some of the trees die off, I cut them down. Minimal spraying isn't helping the peaches. The apples are rocking though.

I'm about to start a smallish oak project on my property. It's 40 acres with about 20 acres of hardwoods and 20 of fruit orchard (apple, peach, plum and pear). Surrounded by agriculture (hundreds of acres of mostly corn with some soy). My food plots don't attract a ton of attention with all...
