Crabapple trees on reclaimed surface mine

Yeah, I tend to go into projects guns blazing. I need to slow down.
Did you incorporate it or leave it on the top? While that seems like a lot, a triaxle holds about 22 tons. So you got two truck loads.

I got 3- 1/2 triaxles. I also mixed 4 ton pelletized lime in with my manure spreader.
This was done in late August. The only thing I did was drag a spiked chain harrow. The ground was rock solid from lack of rain.
The majority was put on the 5 acres where I'm getting the stone crusher in.
Hindsight I should have waited until this spring.
 
How exactly does ordering trees like this work? You pay now and they send them in the spring?

I've never really considered it because of the travel and schedule issues. I'm never really sure when I'll be able to go. Hate to spend a bunch of money on trees only to have them go to waste because I can't go plant them.

Yes, order now and ship/pick up in spring. Some places (Blue Hill) can be flexible when they ship and let you pick up, so you can work around your schedule and weather. My wife loves my tentatively scheduled planting trips.
 
Bluehill is nice because they let you schedule the ship date. Only had one experience so far but that worked well for planning
