I'll second what was already mentioned. On my land in rusk county, black spruce and Tamarac grow great in wet bogs. They also grow in dry areas. I pulled black spruce seedlings from my swamp shooting lanes and planted them on field edges. Some 7 year old black spruce trees are over 7 feet tall and looking great.
That's a good combo too, Im going to create more of these areas.I agree with everybody else that said black spruce and tamarack. I have a 5 acre swamp that has a foot of water in it all spring, and is wet almost all year. The black spruce thrive in this area. Tamarack is scattered throughout here too.
Sounds good, thanks. I bought norway's from them in the past and was very satisfied with price and quality. Their price is much better than wallace (.70 vs 1.17/tree)Paint Creek Nursery and Wallace Woodstock both have them. I've ordered from both theses places and never been disappointed.
Have you tried the bucky sticks of hybrid poplar they sell? I am curious as to survival. The price is right at $50 per 100 sticks if they grow. Paint Creek seems to have the best price on tamarack at .70ea for 100+ trees. northstar is 170.00 vs 70.00. They are 1yr trees vs 2yr old at Paint Creek.Throw another name in the hat, Lodholz North Star Acres near Tomahawk. Only ordered spruce and some hardwoods from them but decent especially if you want a little bigger stock at times as they have several sizes typically and I did see tamarack in their recent flyer.
I second the pull them soon after frost out if you have some little ones in other areas. Spruce seem to pull with the roots pretty well with that approach, no shovel needed if you can dibble bar them back in. Would think could do that with tamarack too.
