I have purchased 9 acres from the neighbor. This consists of a 5-6 acre field that he just let grow into a really nice stand of scattered Red Cedars that are 2-5 feet tall. Sparse cedar seems to be the most preferred bedding in this area when the weather begins to turn cold. I plan on planting some apple/pear/persimmon/chestnut/oak/redosier dogwood in the cedar patch as well in groups just to break it up a bit and to provide some food within the bedding. My FIL is installing a pond as well, hopefully it will hold water.
Some of my female persimmons have been getting destroyed by coon once the fruit begins to turn. I have seen other people utilize ductwork to keep coon off the trees and to keep deer from rubbing them. I am hoping this will help and I will actually get to see some fruit make it to maturity.
This is my first attempt at grafting over some male persimmons over to female. These are scions I got from Cliff England. Deer Candy and Deer Magnet.
This was one of the few opportunities I got out shed hunting this winter/spring. It was my daughters first shed hunt, and we did well!
I seeded in some Cave In Rock switch last year into the previous year's corn stubble. This was my first attempt at planting it. When I was out there yesterday, I noticed it is really showing up this year.
