After logging 7 years ago the hazelnut in my woods exploded. They are everywhere but I have only seen nuts on one tree ever and this was before the logging. Any thoughts why there are no nuts?. I have to think they must of regenerated from the roots like aspen or alder and not any nuts. I...

Has anyone tried cutting buckthorn and spraying stumps with torodon or triclopyr 4 during the winter. Will this work this time of year? I thinking about doing this in a week or two before the forestery mulcher runs through there. Is it a waste of time or should I just wait till it sprouts up...

Anybody have a idea?

I wasn't able to get up to my land since July. I finally made it up and over seeded my beans and also lightly disked and seeded some rye. This is in NW Wisconsin. Do you think this rye will grow enough to make it thru winter? Was it a waste of time planting it this late this far north?

I bought a few antovonka seedlings a while back (6 -7 )years ago. I'm downright impressed with these trees. They seem to grow fast and seem to be tough. The trunk and branches are just solid compared to alot of my other apples. They are supposed to grow huge( which is good in bear country). Also...

Just wondering has anybody actually noticed a deer preferring one apple type over another if they drop at the same time. It seems to me they will scarf down what ever apple or crab is there.

Just wanted to put up a few pics of my plum trees and how fast they are spreading and growing for anyone that might be thinking about planting some. You can see the mother trees in the back, all the light green trees and sticks are root suckers that have shot off the row of the 7 original...

I know it best to transplant trees when they are dormant, but having property 5hrs away and different zones is tuff. I have some renteeka crab, antovonka apple, and a pear that I want to dig out of garden and transplant on northern property. Will they be ok if the have started leafing out and I...

Just came back from our land. There was a bad rain, freezing rain, then heavy snow storm around the new year. This pic is my logging road with my 7 year old aspen bent over horizontal over the trail. They were doing so good. Anybody know if these trees have a chance to recover? Will they...

I'm pretty sure this is a wolf. I haven't had a picture of a deer in 9 days after getting a pic off deer almost everyday. I've had my property almost 20 years and have had many pictures of coyote but never a wolf. I did see one a few years ago while bowhunting.

When I logged 7 years ago my forester mentioned that I would be a perfect candidate for a grant to shear my upland mature tag alder to benefit grouse, woodcock, and songbirds. I just started the ball rolling and hope to get it done next winter. I was a little hesitant because I have a lot of...

I have 4 30 year old apple trees in my yard. The last couple years they have been getting black and bark look like it is dying out. Anybody know why? Is there something I can spray or do to cure this. The branches look like they are dying but there is new growth coming out of them all over.

How do clay peas match up to soybeans. Browse tolerance, deer preference, fertilizer requirements, etc. Also would they work in NW WI if just looking for a summer food?

So my friend that is bear hunting on my land went up to set his stand and bait. I have spartan cell cams at both sites. I get a alert on cam and think it is him setting stand, no it's a good size bear in the bait site. I let him know not to go out there yet. His response is" we are both watching...

I received a great looking Reliance peach this spring. The only problem was it was leafing out already when it came. I planted it that day. About 3 weeks later all the leaves fell off. I was sure it died and was going to pull it out just didn't get around to it. Now another 3 weeks it has all...

I had a bag of b.o.b 7 card draw. It is mostly oats, triticale, with a little rape and radish. I added a good amount of buckwheat and some sunflower seeds. The kid wanted to try to harvest some doves this September. My plan is just to let everything mature and maybe mow a few strips thru the...

Anybody else have these guys on your land? I had one in my pond last night?

The temperature jumped up to close to 90 today. He must of been a little hot in that thick black coat. I think this is the same bear that walked 50 yards from me while I was loading up tree cages in my truck last weekend.

I was just a tsc and saw this product on sale for $49 for 2.5 gallons. Has anyone used this before? The ingredients are clove oil and citric acid. Non selective herbicide. Would this be a safer alternative to gly? Any worries about using this on foodplots?
