It's ground ivy (aka Creeping Charlie). It's hard to get rid of, especially in shaded areas. I've never had to deal with it in a food plot, but in a yard, 24D will kill it and not harm grass. However, it always seems to find a way to come back after a while.

😄 Those look like a good number of my native trees - and the deer GOBBLE all of them up regardless of size!!!!

My guess is the reason the nuts are undeveloped is because there isn’t another chestnut nearby to pollinate it. My next step would be using the ACF resources. Good luck.

Go to the ACF website and they have lots of resources to help ID. You can even send in pics. PS - Is this near an old homestead or out in the forest away from civilization.

How many nuts per bur? It looks like 3 but just want to confirm what you see. Are any nuts developed? Other pics and info? My first thought is a dying Chestnut tree but need more info. The slender leaf with a sharp V at the bottom is like that of an American Chestnut, but that isn’t a...

These Prok persimmons are as big as some small apples and the taste is incredible.

Forgot to post my 2025 Lawnmower plot. One rain saved it from being a disaster. Evidence of chestnuts being eaten.

I was still getting daylight mature bucks the day before the beans were harvested but none since then. Check out the turkey fight on the last two pics, and look at how it spooked the deer on the far left side of the pic.

Yes, I only have one sawtooth that has dropped any so far, and it has only dropped a few. The rest are still holding tight. You are correct about when mine will drop. They will start about mid October and go well into November. The Overcups are still holding tight too. It will be...

I’ve never seen as many acorns in my life. This includes native trees and the ones I planted. The sawtooths caught my eye the other day. Limbs sagging from the load.

I'm not one to jump in and out, but I must admit I'm getting a bit nervous. My CS account was up 130% over 2 years as of today, and I did a bunch of selling and went to 25% cash. I also have a 15% trailing stop on a bunch of stuff that has done well. I hope the run continues, but now I have a...

Look at the AI Overview on at the top of the page on the following link. Compare the features to your plant, and you will see which one you actually have. I know for sure mine is the euonymus because of how it is sprawling and climbing...

Yea, I will take the cage off of at least one and see what happens.

Two years ago I dug up some strawberry bushes where I live and transplanted them to my farm. I caged them to assure their survival from browsing. Today I walked by that place and was amazed at the beauty.

Not much change here except that white oak acorns are king at the moment - and still no Freak. I had 1,200 pics on the tree beside my blind in 4 days and mature bucks on the acorns nearly every day an hour before dark. My son wants to come home for the early 2 day ML season and hunt the 10...
