Here's what I believe to be a Deamii oak that is grafted to that concordia next to the alba.

I should have some this fall pending pollination. That grafted concordia also has a burxchinkapin hybrid on it producing....so the possibly hybrids are endless. The alba growing alongside has some epicormic branching going on that I'm going to let manifest to graft more hybrids on as well.

Really growing into an acorn producer this year.

A favorite of mine for ice storms.

Put 27 Concordia oak acorns in potting soil today. They came from a grafted Concordia oak tree I made from 3 trees with the best fall color. It’s growing with a regular white oak (Quercus alba) along with a bur x chinkapin hybrid graft that’s also producing acorns. The expected cross as some...

Change to one buck limit for MO If that wont work, Thanksgiving start for rifle.

Threw half of a Taco Bell 5 layer burrito away for lunch so there's that.

Works very well to use some fencing to protect shrubs even with the following deer densities in the video. I have some hazelnuts, dogwoods, chokeberries and serviceberries protected by this fencing and continually producing fruits/seeds for animals to propagate further throughout the area.

Would have thought the average highs and lows would have been lower…. Would have never thought the average high would have been above freezing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I used that option for the 4-5 years that it was available. What happened in my area is the snipers came in and shot quite a few for a couple years on a few of the properties, then people wizened up to this and said no. We used those 10 tags to take out older bucks that no one wanted to...

Statistically speaking, it's ming boggling the number of deer in the country back in the 40's to say early 80's, and how many of the all time great bucks came from a small number of total animals as compared to today. The knife handle buck from IA, The general from NE, hole in the horn, del...
