When are acorns available I was wondering when the sources from the first page of this thread normally have this years crop of acorns for sale. I am interested in some DCO and some burgambel for sure. Anything else I should try in north central Nebraska? Several red and white oaks currently...

I water mine every other day. They are in partial sun and when it gets in the 90's I put them in the garage in front of the window. They will go home with me to the farm and into the ground in two weeks. More rain back home so they should do ok in the ground right?

I am having the same thing happen to some of my oak seedlings. They are planted in the rootmaker 18 cell trays from Big Rock. They look green and healthy one day and then the next time I check them the edges of the leaves are turning brown and falling off and the stem gets darker and brittle...

It will be time to seed brassicas before we know it.:) I have always used the expensive name brand seed in the past, but this year I plan to order from welter seed. As a rule do you usually plant about 10 lbs of different mix per acre? I have picked out what I am interested in from their list.

In October, I LOAD up on the gazillions of acorns under some massive producing trees and plant em. I haven't looked to see if you can buy seedlings??? Again, Letemgrow would know if they are out there. If you don't have shingle oaks out there, I'd be happy to collect some acorns for...

Those trees look great! What a stand it will be some day. Those are apple/pear?

Thanks again. Helpful as always:)

The local CO-OP has Volunteer. Can I use this for the clethodim in your mix Doubletree? It is cheaper than ordering Select or Arrow somewhere else.

Dbltree I have been through the herbicide thread and the tree planting thread both a couple of times. If you wouldn't mind just want to be completely clear on what I can safely use to kill the weeds around my trees. The trees are east red cedar, caragana, Norway spruce, n red oak,swamp white...

Great pics IQDM: Thanks for the great pics. Those look like some pretty good sized trees you worked with. How far did you go with them from their original home? Did you leave any of the soil around the roots?

I think we all have to be a bit crazy :D for growing things like this in the house, trying our wives with all the time and money we spend on habitat the outdoors and hunting. One has to be a bit on the crazy side to find all the enjoyment he can in our little hobbies. Thanks for the info again...

Will you send me the item # or link to the page on the Big Rock website for the rootmakers that you guys use. I want to order some tomorrow, as I still have quite a few acorns to pot. Thanks, Bryan :)

Sounds like a winner. There is no advice as good as the experiences you guys have. I need to order some rootmakers from Big Rock. Do you use any of the trays that are also available to hold the 18 cell trays.

Just dig a hole a little bigger than the pot and fill it back in then? I already have protex tubes to put over them. I wasn't sure if I should plant them soon or wait until the stem looks a bit stronger. I have some approaching the 12 inch mark now, but they look some delicate.

Phil, I know we have chatted about the pots I used to plant my acorns in. I moved some of the sprouts to 4 inch pots a while back after talking to you. The pots I have them in now are the ones you can just put in the ground. After reading these last few posts on the thread, I am wondering if...

This is very useful info. I will need to transport the trees a couple of hours, which is my main concern. I thought about using some paper or feedsack type material to wet the roots and wrap them and then place the trees into some big mineral tubs with water or something like that. I will...

How much of the root system needs to be saved and how deep does one have to dig? Also how did you transport them and keep them moist? Thanks dbltree

It never amazes me anymore how people think they have a right to do whatever. I bet with all the media exposure and knowledge of big deer along with the increasing value of antlers, you guys in Iowa have a heck of a time with trespassers. Good luck with bringing him down
