It's a mixture between Whitetail Crabs and Midwest Deer trees. I've been adding about 6-8 trees a year, probably only have room for 2 more this coming spring.

I planted 4 trees from Fleet six years ago, they are all growing ok but I can count on one hand the apples I've got off them. Two of the trees have never even had fruit, we have had a few years of late frosts that killed the blossoms so take that into account. In comparison the 6 bare root...

Thanks!

We bought the land next to our cabin and found this next to a shed. Would it be worth anything to a food plot person or is it just scrap metal?

It keeps the bears from using it as a hot tub. They would get completely in the tank and displace some much water it would be 14-16 inches low, that made it tough for the deer to get a drink. They are hard to see but I have earth anchors on each end to keep the bars in place, doesn't bother...

I've ordered several times, the quality of trees seems to keep dropping every year though. Last year was probably my last, the bare root birch trees came leafed out already and nothing covering the roots. I called with my displeasure but it seemed to fall on deaf ears, most of the trees died.

If you are looking for fencing for your habitat projects Tractor Supply is having a sale.

Thanks! That helps and eases my mind.

I bought a dozen 3 gallon white spruce trees and was only able to get 6 in the ground because part of my property is still frozen. So I left them where I want to them to be planted but now the temps are going back to freezing with lows in the lower teens and highs only in the mid thirties...

Thanks! The food plot I'm changing over is not much help and takes a ton of effort. Between tilling and planting twice a year, fencing and taking the fence down, plus it turns into bare dirt in 2 weeks after the fence comes down so the draw quickly goes away. II was hoping to plant, weed mat...

That was a great video for a guy just learning about fruit trees like me.

Thanks for the reply. Less competition for water was my thought as well, all the trees I matted were bare root trees that were in the ground for 3 months-1 year. I'd say they were between 3-5 feet tall at the time. The birch all dropped the leaves then sprouted new smaller leaves from the...

I'm in 4b. I bought from a vendor I saw recommended on this sight, Midwest Deer Trees and everything I bought is good for a zone 3-8. Last year I went through and put weed mat on a bunch existing conifers and hardwoods, It may have been a coincidence but all the conifers and burr oaks did...
