Is there a reason you dont use electrical tape for the bamboo stake?

Have you had any problems with ambrosia beetles, Swamp? They are the toughest problem to fight for me currently.

I've had a time with ambrosia beetles. They target mulberries and chestnuts at my place. They've killed a few of mine, but they have always came back with suckers. I have one chestnut that was hit this past spring. It is a decent size and managed to leaf out, but the leaves never got to full...

I planted 8 common persimmons back in 2019 and so far 3 are males. I'm hoping with how long it is taking for the other 5 to flower that they will be females. Anyone have any experience with this hopeful theory of mine? 😂

............. but what about basketball and baseball?????? Hail State!!!! 😂 In all seriousness, idk how I missed this thread. Trying alyce clover and joint vetch for the first time this year. Hoping they'll do good in my sandy soil. After reading yall's posts of joint vetch liking wetter soils...

I've planted close to many pine stumps after they were thinned and have had no problems. A pine stump could be totally different than a hardwood stump due to the root system though. I would think over time the stump/roots would be free fertilizer once it's fully rotted and broken down.

I don't. They will bore the trunk of the tree leaving "dust tunnels" behind (best I can explain it).

I've had a time with ambrosia beetles attacking my mulberry trees. Anyone having this problem too?

This graft has produced flowers this year (which is nuts considering I grafted this just 2 years ago). Would you guys nip the flowers off this year or leave them?

How has the growth rate been for yall on Arkansas Black? Mine seems to be slow compared to my other apple trees.

Looking for Olympic/Korean Giant pear if anyone has any to spare.

I planted 5 chickasaw plums in 2019 and some just started suckering about a year or 2 ago. A thicket has not formed just yet, but it's getting there! Not sure on how far apart they are, but I'd say 4-5 feet. I would definitely try to protect them until they are established. I have deer nipping...

I feel his pain. Sunn Hemp has done well for me. Going to give Alyce clover and Joint vetch a try next spring.

Is that dog fennel I'm seeing an abundance of?

Wow, hope Pricilla pans out for me down here in the dirty south.
