I wish I could get my tractor to my planting spots. 41 years old and this planting season is kicking my ass. Better now than 51. Couple more years of heavy planting then I’ll take up grafting. Enjoying all the rain right now in central NY.
Waiting for my order. Emailed Terry asking to ship a couple weeks ago but never heard anything. I also ordered around 17 trees and requested all M111, he said no problem. Hopefully get them in soon.
Took some pictures of what I believe is red dogwood. It’s growing everywhere on my land. Also up on the hill where I got a massive planting project this spring.
Well I’ll see which ones they like better. Going to order 25 of each from NY DEC tree sale. I got so much on my plate this spring with trees but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Wow been reading about silky dogwood. Looks really good too. Anyone think it’s a bad idea to plant some red osier or silky dogwood in between rows of apples/persimmons/pears? I mean I like nice open rows but the big bucks don’t.
Was going to order some norways. I’ve got some red multi stem stuff already growing in the wet areas. Don’t know if that’s red osier dogwood or something else. But I’ll order some. Thanks.
Clearing land in preparation for spring planting coming up and some spots I got are real wet from hillside springs and runoff. I’m looking for different types of plants that thrive in wet soil that deer browse or fruit/nuts.
I’m in central NY. Zone 5a/b.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I’m 5a hovering to 4b. I’ve tried female grafted morse persimmons a handful of times (all the different varieties). Not a single graft has made it for me. Complete opposite for me with Bluehill.
Never ate one but since it was from around my area and having heard of old farms here had lots of them, just wanting an heirloom apple tree that originated here. I heard they are a great eater but that’s all subjective.
I couldn’t tell you about winter wildlife or hangover, but I have seen...
I looked up Tolman Sweet. Looks good. I got Midwest Deer Trees left. I’m pricing out fencing and supplies. Going to be my biggest planting year to date for the spring
They have all winter hangover, winter wildlife and a new one, big deer crab. A few other crabs as well that I didn’t see last year.
I was looking for a chenango strawberry since I’m in Chenango county but didn’t offer it this year. I’m looking forward to planting some from this nursery this...
Got them in today. Did a little fall planting. Wanted a handful of wet tolerant white oak hybrids from Morse. This one looks like a red oak. Tag says swamp oak hybrid. To me it screams red oak variety. Just need other opinions.
Well hopefully then my soil has huge rocks everywhere and will help out. I didn’t know about the B188 issues and my soil is super heavy clay. Planted 7 whitetail crabs last year and got another 15 this year. Guess time will tell.
