Grizz I did a quick search online about the 2 pollinizers that you mentioned. They both seem to fit in to what I like to order except both say warm regions. I'm only warm in Spring and fall and sometimes winter. July, August and September are usually well into the triple digits. I don't...

Thanks everyone for the replies. I have chinese and Dunstan still planted along with a few allegheny chinkapin. I had about a dozen allegheny die off this year I think due to to much moisture. Here in east Texas we reached our annual rainfall total I think back in june. During that time...

When I first ordered this tree I was concerned about where it was grown (NW), but just about every other tree I planted and failed came from the south eastern region. So I said what the heck.

Thank you very much. I just got on their waiting list.

This chestnut has been my best grower. In its 3rd year in the ground from a seedling. Nothing seems to bothers this very hardy tree. From all the Dunstan, Chinese, European, Japanese chestnut I've planted this the only one that I don't want to rip out the ground. Not during very hot weather...

These down below. Saw. Ran for the first time last weekend. Performed exactly to what I needed. Perfect for trails or similar. Cut up a dead oak limb from storm about 5" diameter. Did great. Other mini chainsaws like the name brands were $150-$200 or more. Don't expect much from this...

Hello, Its been nearly 9 years since your post about the Dunstan Chestnut trees you planted. Any recent updates? How are they doing? Good producers?

Mechanically pulling the yaupon out of the ground works best for me. Tried burning and chemicals. Just sets it back. Jan - may is the best because of the damp soil. I use a 45hp tractor with front end loader and heavy chain, wrap it at twice around yaupon base then back the tractor up...

My chocolate lab has to be within my eye sight or whistling distance. He was taught that at a young age. Plus he knows not to cross fence lines to our neighbors. I've probably slapped his ass 10 times in six years. Those just to get his attention. Last Sat. morning I was catching up on some...

my tree order from burnt ridge nursery got cancelled for the second year in a row.

I needed 100 so the cheapest way to get them were by buying 1000. Haven't received them yet, but anybody want some loblolly pine seedlings? Description of what I ordered. From N.Carolina forestry dept. Loblolly pine, 3rd cycle piedmont bare root premium family select-treated D & P. They...

thanks for all the remarks guys, but santa brought me a stihl 261 c-m with 20 inch blade. It is awesome.

Its time for a new chainsaw. Currently I have a ms 250. Its has been an outstanding saw. Im going to keep it just use it on smaller jobs. What Im looking for is a saw with longer bar 20"+ and more power. I have roughly 6 large oaks that are going to need to be fallen and cut up. Im not...

x2 caterpillars. Every October I have to keep my eyes open for them. Only tree that got hit this year was a sawtooth in the front yard. Won't kill the tree. Just defoliate it. Should bounce back next year.

I blamed my nephew and friend when they were kids because I found an oak tree with similar marking on a broken branch. But believe it or not it was the wind. I've have since noticed hundreds of branches missing from smaller trees with the same kind of markings.
