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.

Cant believe I havent seen this. 100 percent Dawg here. Thanks for sharing this!

Thanks Omi! Going to definitely try these out next year. Hairy Vetch usually does well at my place. Idk how similar it is to Joint Vetch though.

Does it tolerate summer droughts well? Does it tolerate sandy soils?

Watch it bub! Lol In all seriousness, I've had trouble finding a legume to do well in my summer plots. Best I can come up with is sunnhemp and cowpeas. Honestly just looking for something to produce organic matter and something to cover seed for my fall plots. I have plenty of food for wildlife...

Nice! Pears grow well at my place. Hoping the Ayers will too.
