This subject has probably probably been spoken about many times but why not talk about it some more!!
I'm considering a order of various native shrubs as bare-root seedlings,IE buttonbush, ninebark, elderberry arrowwood, plum, chokeberry, nanaberry, hazelnut and some permission trees for starters..
This is in addition to apple, pear and Chestnut that I'm going to introduce which I realize I need to either cage or tube.
Question is what's the most feasible way for all those little bare-root seedlings under 18 in? I realize planting a whole bunch and hoping for the best is not realistic because of my deer numbers.. I had about a 95% success rate of sprouts coming up from live staking red oiser dogwood but every single one of them that was wasn't protected was browsed. Love to hear some experience! Thanks
