Going to take my first shot at bark grafting this year. I've been watching how to videos and there is a mixed bag of people using nurse branches and people that dont. Just wanted to get yall's view on it and whether or not yall use a nurse branch or not.

I ordered some bareroot trees from TWG that are shipping out on 12/19. My plan is to get them in the ground as soon as I can, but I'm not sure what day they will arrive and what my obligations will be when they do arrive (work & family christmas parties). This will be my first go at receiving...

This year will be the latest I have ever planted for fall plots. I usually plant middle to end of September, depending on rain. I am in zone 7. It is looking like (weather wise) I won't be able to plant until sometime in October. Average first frost date for my area is November 1st. I usually...

Thinking about ordering some of these this year. Anyone have any experience with this tree? How is it with CAR? When is the drop time usually for your area? I'm in zone 7, north MS.

Been going with a milo, I&C cowpea and BW mix. I have sandy soils and our summers are HOT and can be droughty. The milo and cowpeas have done excellent, the BW not so much. I dont think BW can withstand MS heat. I have been looking into replacing BW with sunnhemp for the future, but I cannot...

I have 2 Chestnut Hills southern crabs that I bought at a local Wal Mart that are ate up with fire blight. Pretty sure I'm going to call it quits with them and go with 2 DR trees. I'd like to either plant crabs, pears, persimmons or one of each that have drop times around our gun season, which...

I'm having a hard time finding milo in my area. One of the local co ops has milo feed, not seed, and said that it would germinate & come up if planted. Has anyone planted milo feed before and had success?

This is on a crabapple seedling. I noticed it while I was pruning it this year. Anyone know what it is?

Just did my first burn on my property yesterday. I was very nervous at first, but felt a lot better half way through it :emoji_laughing: I had a buddy that is pretty experienced with burns and helped me through it. I learned a lot just off that one burn. I plan to put some before and after...

I threw out some chicory in bare spots in my clover plot this past fall. It came up well. Once the deer and turkey figured out where it was, they started hammering it. I took a walk through the plot this past weekend and could see where they have nipped it to the ground. With it being so young...

Just a general question here about spraying for CAR. My crabs are around 5 years old and have only been in the ground for a year, so they are a ways off from producing. Just about every one of them has CAR, but does not look as bad as some of Native's trees he has posted. I dont have any pics of...

I was doing a little hack n squirt on sweet gums this weekend and came across a ton of the same trees I had no knowledge about. I identified it on a plant app I have and it ends up being a sourwood tree. Anyone know anything about these trees? I thought about hack n squirting them too, but...

Just a question out of curiosity. I have 2 different sets of persimmons I purchased from the same local nursery. 1 set around 3 years ago and 1 set a year ago, both are american persimmons. The first set have been in the ground for 2 years and are super late to leaf out (still silver tipped as...

I was getting the trees I wanted to plant this weekend and noticed this on one of the crabapples. I do not know what type of crabapple it is, Nativ Nurseries sends a variety of crabs including: Dolgo, Transendent, Chestnut, Centennial, Whitney, and Prairie. So it is either one of those or a mix...

I have several fruit trees on my property (Persimmon, Crabapple, Pear, Plum, Mulberry). They are young trees ranging from 2-7 years old. Do I need to spray these trees for protection against insects every year?

Looking to do a spring plot this year for the first time. My soil is sandy and the PH for the plot is 5.5. I am located in North Mississippi. My goals for this plot are to create biomass to build the soil and something the deer will utilize. This plot was planted in brassicas and AWP and have...

My property is 100 acres, 45 acres in pines and the rest is a hardwoods bottom. Over the summer, I had a timber company come in and thin the pines. The pines were 20 years old and it was time for a thin. We agreed to a 65-70 basal area, but after the thinning was completed, I'm going to say the...

I have a few Nuttalls that are give or take 5 years old. When do Nuttall oaks start to produce acorns?
