i put in 25 burr oaks lowland , 25 butternut, 25 shag bark hickory, put all in 5 foot tubes, what have you guy done this spring,

Did a bit of planting like usual this spring. I put 6 cottonwoods between my pond and driveway. 6 white oaks around the yard. Pulled a few blue spruce out front of my house and seeded 2 rows of Osage orange just outside the right of way along the road. Also chisel plowed the front yard and prepped for native wildflower which hopefully I will plant next week. Trying for less grass and more wildlife.

I'm still trying to figure out if I ever plated trees in my lifetime. And would it have been silver or bronze?

Roughly 7.5 million loblolly pine...give or take a hundred thousand.

You and everyone else. Put a few tens of thousands in the dirt myself. Just about have to give them away now with mills closing.

I planted pawpaw, black walnut, Osage orange, Montmorency cherry, apricot and peach seeds, with black walnut being the most at a few hundred pounds. My partner and I need to pot up close to 2000 trees very soon including 300 black walnut, 300 pawpaw, 100 aronia berry, 100 wild plum, 100 mixed hickory and the rest of 100 bald cypress, 100 American hazelnut, 100 white oak, 100 plus persimmons and 100 tulip poplar, plus many of the black walnut seedlings that are coming up, plus apricot, persimmon, burr oak and peach in last year's air pruning beds. I'm hoping to make over $60,000.00in inventory for our nursery this year, on the cheap.

I planted hundreds of Rememberance elderberry clones, a lot of red oseir do wood, a few hundred Amorphophallus konjacs, a bunch of giant elephant ear and canna and 23 gooseberries. I potted up 32 dahlias yesterday and have 60 some more to plant. My partner is supposed to buy 60 more dahlias tomorrow. I have some mullien and horseradish to plant, that I dug. I'm going to dig and pot up some more gooseberries and mullien, ironweed, milkweed, golden rod, mulberry trees, 5 red cedars and some callery pear, to graft onto.

….I didn’t finish reading it all

…but are you related to Johnny Appleseed… or someone like that ?

Unsurprisingly.



He lived a few miles from here too. I have wild apple trees on my farm, that could be out of his.

We planted 20 white oaks, couple cherry, couple pear, and an elderberry bush.

Planted a few more dozen firs in my marten spots, so that they turn into taiga when I'm dead. I keep planting every year. I don't like this black and white deciduous blah.

Nothing this spring but did last fall. Aspens are doing great this spring.

Planted 2 dwarf apples

25 Red Oak, 25 Yellow Birch and about 20 White Cedar. We capped some White Pines yesterday. I've got some more site prep work to do (bud worm damage) then plant more cedar.

Just ordered some Nan King Cherry and American Plum and want to transplant some quakies from the forest to here and whatever else catches my eye

I don't think I've planted a tree in my life. I struggle to grow tomatoes.

Keith, Do you have a source where I could buy some paw paw trees?

tomatoes are capricious jerks. Verticillum this, Phytophthora that.
stil can't plant mine because of the cold weather and they are everywhere.




Just yank some saplings out of the ground where they are thick, when there's rain in the forecast, and stick them back into the ground where you want more trees. Works with oaks, walnuts, spruce, fir, mountain ash, ..., ...
Even small ones are better than nothing. It's rewarding to see them alive and growing later.

This year we bought 300 pawpaw trees from the Missouri Department of Conservation tree sale. They will start taking orders again in I think September. They are cheap through them. They come out to 80 some cents each, with shipping, if you buy them in hundreds. There trees look good. They often sell out quickly. They sold out several times this season too, but added more as they dug more trees. I had to put another order through to get them when they adjusted their inventory, making them available again.

I also got 28 pawpaw trees in trade for haskaps, out of named varieties. I planted 2 bags of pawpaw seeds a friend stratified. They had some mold, so I'm not real hopeful. I got more pawpaw seed at the Ohio Nut Growers Association Spring Scion Swap I need to plant still. They made me a trustee.

I planted 60 White Spruce last week. I then got completely covered in poison ivy!
