The TSC tree was bought on a whim some years ago. I haven't purchased trees from a store since then. The guy in Kansas has much better trees for the same price.

Pulled my acorns out of the fridge yesterday. Pleased to see some sprouting. Removed the sawdust and put some miracle grow soil in the bag with a little bit of water. I'm hoping to get them in the ground in about 30 days. Might have about 125 acorns. some hickory nuts and beechnuts in there as well.

A good month away from planting trees here...16 degrees right now. Most of my new bare root should be coming late March.
I have had very good luck with potted fruit trees from my local TSC especially pears...nothing but bad luck with any fruit trees from Rural King, those are the only two box stores I ever tried potted trees from.

In NY, the dept of enviromental conservation has a annual seedling sale. Over the past few years, they have torringo crabapple, native wild apple, asian plums, chestnut, dogwoods, alder, birches, poplar, all sorts of conifers, including white and red cedar. Usually $30 for 25 bareroots. I've done blue spruce, red and white cedar, red dogwood, hybrid poplar, white pine, as well as the plums and toringo crabapple.

Great resource. Items are shipped to local soil conservation district. Ontop of the state, the local conservation place sells agriform pellets, other items like blueberry and strawberry plants, some of the state offerings in singles, tree growing tubes, and other forestry tree growing goodies.
No good fruit trees this year, but behind my house are new neighbors with a new house. So, I am growing more blue spruce with a quick growing hybrid poplar infront. I'd prefer white pine, but snooze ya loose, they were out.....
Here-say is here-say, and people vary on how well or too much well they take care of plants. But, it seems home depot and walmart does better than the tractor supply ones. Usually tractor supply has 2 grades of trees, $25 ones with good root balls and $10 dollar cheapies....

Thanks for the reminder... snuck in under wire and got 25 red oaks to spot in at the camp. One more job to do, it's but fun to see how they do.
