Looks like shumard.

Serviceberry would be my call. Great wildlife tree.

I'm not going to sell any acorns this year. The freeze we had in April two years ago wiped out this year's crop. I have a few but not very many. If anbody wants some, and will pay me shipping, I'll send you some if I get any--squirrels may wipe out what is left.

Dude, if you do, and get up to engineer or conductor, my son and I want to come ride with you. I've got good friends who retired from CSX. My son and I used to ride with them all the time--40 miles in each direction. That was a HOOT--even got to drive myself one time. Has to be a fun job...

You put those plots in place with high quality deer food and you'll have every deer in the county there.

I know NOTHING smells sweeter than a wild Southern Crabapple in bloom.

Last year was the first time I tried it. Used 10 B118's from Cummins. All grafts took. Deer ate one and killed it. Six of the rootstocks died. Had three survive and really take off. Thirty percent ain't great, but it was for a first-time, never-done-it-before grafter. On a side note I...

How does it smell when it's blooming?

I grew mine all summer in 3 gallon nursery pots. They did real well. They are getting planted to permanent spot this winter.

I've seen where some folks have found some in Missouri. None here yet and don't expect an early drop this year with the mild winter, but we'll see.

Severe drought will not kill durana. It will ladino. Ladino does not suppress weed and grass growth like durana.

Thanks to you guys that bought acorns from me this year. Non-pro-archer, I still haven't received your check you sent. Need to check to see if it cleared.

Yeah, that's weird. I have two big trees 15 feet from the back of the cabin that the deer think nothing of walking up and feeding on. Of course, it's at night, but they feed them just the same. I put a camera there one year about 5 years ago and set it so you could see the fire pit, the...

Dang Jordan, I have NEVER heard of a deer passing up a persimmon. They have some good eats of some kind around if they do. You ever put a camera on them? I assume you have.
