Native Hunter
5 year old buck +
Deer hunting is over for me this year, and now I'm back to doing what I love as much as hunting - transplanting trees.
I had a great crop of native Hazelnuts this year on bushes that I dug up and transplanted over the last few years. In order to expand the planting and establish great pollination, I have recently located and transplanted bushes from 6 more different locations. I now have bushes from 9 different locations transplanted to within a 30 yard circle, so pollination should be awesome.
I marked each location with a different colored ribbon to help me place bushes from different locations close to each other.
I found these two Chinese Chestnut seedlings and went ahead and moved them while I was at it.
One thing I like about planting hazelnut bushes is that I don't have to cage them. They aren't browsed. They might get rubbed a little, but as a bush will survive okay. Chinese Chestnuts are a different story. They aren't browsed here but have to be caged because of rubbing,
