Huang did not state that young people should study farming.

One thing that RGrizzzz didn't mention is that Mike Stringfield is in Wellsville, Kansas so you may be able to pick up your trees directly from him.

I am pretty sure this photo with Justin and Katy Perry is AI generated because every time I hear Justin Trudeau's name, I think of Home Depot lumber.

I have seen it happen to a couple of my pears, but I don't know what it is. I would cut it below the damage once dormant. Seeing as it is a pear, it will grow back quickly next year.

All the sawtooths I have seen in Louisiana and Mississippi dropped their last acorns about a week ago. Your acorns look like they will not drop for another couple of weeks. I have about 10 mature trees scattered across my property and don't have plans to plant anymore. If they dropped in October...

I have planted about 50 swamp mallow, Hibiscus moscheutos, plants around my pond and in wet areas. I have also planted hundreds of seeds in these same areas. I planted them unprotected and I have never seen them again. I do not know what happened, but they either didn't survive in areas that...

I am not sure if I am more impressed by shooting and recovering the deer or the brothers getting together and butchering it by themselves. Both feats should make you feel good.

Oaks have adapted to not produce the same amount of acorns each year. If oaks produced the same amount of acorns each year, acorn predators (mainly rodents) would be able to have stable populations that ate all of the acorns each year. The boom and bust cycle impacts rodent populations which...

Apparently I missed something last night. I should have stated in my original post that I in no way endorse the theory that Thomas Crooks is Elizabeth Warren's son. There is no way that conspiracy theory is true as it would have to involve someone having sex with Elizabeth Warren and I find that...

I would wait until it goes dormant this fall and cut it as marked and with the same angle. I would not go much lower than that since it looks like the trunk and branch are fused.

If you want to use the plums as a screen, I would not tube them. I have tubed a couple and caged several more. The caged ones are much bushier while the tubed plums look like trees with no real branching in the tube. I did not cage each plum individually. I basically created a fence on both...

I plant the acorns in January or February. I am in the south so you can adjust accordingly on when to plant them. I usually plant the seedlings between Thanksgiving and Christmas. The only trees I keep more than a few months are ones that I graft. I will graft the following spring and transplant...
