I have a spot like this on my property. Also northern PA, same size, similar elevation. In my case, it’s definitely a seasonal spring, but the ground is always moist in the summer but no flooding. I’ve spent a few years trying to get a tidy perennial plot in there, and frankly, in hindsight I...

Mine came dry as a bone. Planted them anyway, will see if any of them make it. Paid like $100 in shipping for a box the size of a shoe box that weighed like 4lbs. I think I am going to try out a new vendor next year.

None up here in NEPA yet, maybe in a handful of weeks. I don't find them often but on occasion I will. Would love to find some more, they're delicious.

Thanks, Browsn! I really look forward to seeing watching this area transform over the course of the coming years. As I mentioned - it was effectively a deer desert before. Too much slash & stilt grass so thick it was practically impassible. Even after a day or two of cleaning up and cutting...

Thank you for the thoughtful response, I appreciate it. I agree with everything you said. The property will catch lots of different deer activity due to its depth but it is nearly impossible to have a truly clean access to hunt back there. This property will never be a perfect hunting place -...

Took a day off work this week to try to get some habitat work done. My focus this spring was to begin to reclaim the blow-down section of dead ash that has been taken over by stilt grass. Over the last few weekends I cut trails through all the slash and piled up tops, this will allow me to get...

Glad to have you back. Hope all is well buddy!

That is wild. I just saw two buck still carrying antlers from last year just a few days ago here in PA. 😂

I like the PVC pipe idea, I think I'll swing by the hardware store and grab a bunch of 10' sections and just cut them on a 45 degree angle. is the 1/2" sufficient or did you find the 3/4" is better?

Has anyone used the Plantra Sun Flex Tubes? TreePro is backed up 4-5 weeks and I'm trying to get something quicker because I'm going to need to get some trees in the ground in the next couple weeks. Plantra has a 6ft tube available that I'm considering

Good ol' ratchet straps. Or chain/binder if ya have them

I live even further up in NEPA - I had to brush snow off my truck more than once this week!

I actually emailed them yesterday, hoping to get out there next week for a pickup

Spill the beans!

Hey all, Looking for recommendations for tree tubes. I'm planting about 175 bare root seedlings, mixture of ROD, willows, crab apples and pear trees in the upcoming weeks. Many will be planted in bulk sections with a fence, but I'd like to tube and plant 50-75 of them strategically in areas...
