No, it will kill the nuts, unless it's a very gentle freeze. I start a lot of acorns and chestnuts from seed, and have finally sorted through all the internet fiction. You want to store nuts 32-34. Most household fridges don't get that cold. I have a beverage fridge in my basement that you can...

You don't want to freeze acorns/seed nuts. You want to hold them just above freezing about 32-34 degrees. A few degrees warmer and they'll start to germinate in the fridge too early for most climates.

Did you ever get around to this?

@john volkman Is there a service issue this am? The app is telling me my cameras haven't reported back in 2 days, but I got pictures timestamped 3:00pm ish yesterday afternoon. I know CAMP is getting updates.

I only needed about a gallon to do my backyard peach trees. It made easier to manage. The challenge is the top water tank. That makes it top heavy. It sits higher than a backpack sprayer would, so you have a sensation of possibly tipping over from the water sloshing around as you move.

I'm running the SR430, which is a bigger unit. I'm 6'2" 230lbs. I have a 4 gallon birchmeier that I use. Anything filled with 4 gallons of water will have some weight. Add on an engine, and you're talking serious weight. The SR430 weights 27 lbs, and the SR200 weighs 17. Add in herbicide AND...

I used it 2-3 times at camp to put down pre emergent for stiltgrass. I've used it a few times on my home peach trees to spray copper fungicide. This thing is a beast to put on/pick up. I use the bed of the Ranger to help get it on so I don't have to bend and lift.

I have the Stihl. Warning, it's very top heavy when filled with 4 gallons. You can also empty it very quickly. It requires some skill and knowledge for proper application rates.

You might be able to use a PH Outdoors G5 or M5 with the 3033R. Tractor depreciation is a serious thing. I'd find a gently used one to save a few bucks and maybe step up a model. Chat up a dealer and let them know what you're looking for and what you budget is. Make them earn your business. A...

Alliant powders are finally starting to become available again. In the last few months I bought RL17 and 22 from Brownells. The price was definitely higher than the late 20-teens when I last bought.

Those are "McDaniels" Burr x English seedlings.

There were a few "Tree of the North" chestnut seedlings that I planted after I took the picture.

The yellow thing? 47" snow blower for a Deere x534
