If anyone has any available, I’d be interested in some sawtooth or chinkapin acorns. I do have a very small quantity of dunstan chestnuts stratifying in the fridge for possible trade Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That might work for a portion of the property. A good bit of the ground in question is fairly thick with more desirable stems but there is a lot of autumn olive mixed in. May need more of a scalpel approach in most areas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My main purpose for considering this tool is for knocking back invasive species like autumn olive, bush honeysuckle, and multi flora rose. I’d rather not cut and pile it up as that will be a ton of work, but I’m not opposed to doing that work if that’s the best option. Would love to take a...

I spoke with a woman from the NRCS office in the county where my land is located. She acknowledged that prescribed burning is one of the tools promoted by the NRCS as a whole but noted that a) none of their employees in NY are trained in that area and b) the DEC will not approve burn plans for...

There's no doubt in my mind that I could figure out how to do a prescribed fire safely with all of the resources that are available on that topic. What I'm less sure of is how to go about doing this in a legal manner. I know that the NYS DEC conducts some prescribed burns every year in various...

Have you done any prescribed burning? Have you had a fire get away from you?

Yes, it is legal. But you have to be "certified" to be able to conduct prescribed burns. The process and qualifications, as far as I can tell, are very subjective.

Hello, I am very interested in using prescribed fire for helping to manage small sections of my property in upstate NY. There appear to be a number of restrictions associated with prescribed burns in NY and, while I've done some research on how to conduct burns in a lawful manner, I've started...

I'll gladly pay shipping for some acorns - keep me posted. Thank you!

Excellent! I have a bunch of rootmaker trays, so I'm good to go there. Thank you for your help!

I don't have anything to offer in return except for cash (or check or paypal payment), but I am interested in Sawtooth oak, Chinkapin oak, Burr oak (or burr oak hybrid), chestnuts, plums, pears, and crabapples. I might be able to get some willow and hybrid poplar cuttings this winter / spring...

I purchased the DCO acorns through Blitz, so I'm glad I got that part right at least :) Any recommendations on where to get fast growing burr oak acorns? I like your steady food supply philsophy and am hoping to implement something similar on my ground.

Well, I just bought some DCO acorns. Would still like to add sawtooth and chestnuts as well. I know there used to be a thread on the old forum for acorn / chestnut / scion / seed swapping. Is there anything like that here?

Thanks Jack, I had very limited success in getting DCOs to germinate in previous attempts and I'm also not sure that my soil is well suited for them (I think they like well drained soil). Thank you for the suggestion! Anthony

I would appreciate that very much!

What would you recommend instead as an alternative? Any other early producing oak species you'd recommend?

If you happen to extras after the fact, I'd gladly buy some acorns off of you.

If I remember correctly, he is in the south somewhere, right? I'm in upstate NY - any issues with the difference in climate.

Now that you mention it, chestnuts would be great as well.

I am in need of some Sawtooth acorns for direct planting purposes. Does anyone know of a reputable source? Thank you! Anthony
