Over the weekend, planted 24 fruit trees that were from Blue Hill and Whitetail Crabs. Most of them went in 4 new locations near tree stands, which required chainsaw work by some relatives. I helped plant 40 pine plugs which might be Christmas trees one day. Finally, I did some perpetual tree...

It's not perfect but it will work. I'm having a family member pick them up from my house and bring them tomorrow when they're coming to join us.

Trees shipped today and will be here tomorrow.

I bought one off of a Perfecta Cultivator two summers ok. It works decent to break clods if the ground isn't too wet. Works better with dry dirt with dead roots.

Down here in SE PA it's getting pretty green. Two Blue Hill apples I planted last spring are already leafing out. Some forsythia way back there is blooming. I really blame the month of March. It's been so erratic the last 5ish years. Summer like warmth mixed with freeze and the occasional snow.

I'll be there tomorrow for planting this weekend. Can you turn up the heat in Lycoming county?

Buy 5' or 6' tubes. Everything that came out of the 4' tubes we used got browsed off. TreePro and TubeX are both good. I think BlueX "tubes" should be avoided. Sometimes you can find gently used tubes cheap. Check FB marketplace. If it's hot where you are, the vented tubes are a better choice...

Consider products like this for best results. High porosity mixes are a good second choice. https://lambertpeatmoss.com/en/our-products/?c=lm-bk-peat-bark https://www.pthorticulture.com/en-us/products/growing-media?f%5B0%5D=components%3A586 https://www.sungro.com/professional-products/bark-mixes/

Most growers consider it a lower quality product. Promix, Sungro and Lambert are commercial brands.

I use a bark base potting mix for tree seedlings. Avoid Miracle Grow potting mixes if possible.

His reply to me was 3/2, so it was still probably pretty cold. In the SE part of PA, lawns are showing green and the forsythia is popping flowers. I'd be surprised he couldn't get some trees out of the ground this week.

Did anyone get their trees yet? Do you normally get a shipping notification/tracking info? I let Terry know I needed my trees before Friday of this week and he acknowledged that. It's Monday and I don't have any tracking info, if he sends it. I am in PA, so it's probably only a day or two to get...
