I ordered my first fruit trees today. I had picked up some sawtooth oak acorns and was going to try my hand at those this year but that project kind of came apart. I had stored them in my garage refrigerator and it got so cold this winter that most of them actually froze and cracked. It’s okay though. I have primarily oak and hickory trees in my woods anyway so I really don’t need the acorns. I decided to go ahead and order some fruit trees. I ordered the 10 tree pear package from the Wildlife group along with weed mats, stakes and tree tubes. They were sold out of their crab apple packages so I ordered those form Willis nursery. I ordered 2 Dolgo, 2 transcendent and 2 Eliza crabs from them. I have two existing food plot areas that I’ll plant some of the trees in. If I get my new spot cleared by the time they come in I’ll split the planting’s into three areas. That will give me at least 5 fruit trees in each of my three hunting plots (provided they all survive). I’ll also be converting my interior food plot trails to clover trails and my perimeter trails will all become access trails in an effort to centralize my feeding areas. I’ll document all of my planting adventures on my land tour when the time comes.
Both Willis and The Wildlife Group will be shipping to me on March 13th with an expected delivery date of the 16th. I hope to have them planted, staked, tubed and caged over St Patrick’s Day weekend. I’ll update my progress. For what it’s worth I ordered by phone and they were both more than helpful. The lady from Willis even took the time to share proper recommended planting procedures, depth of hole etc... they both made a great impression on me.
