I think I am done with the White pines unless I cage them. The Deer just hammer them every winter. Who is planting trees and what are you planting?

Lead | ||

I just ordered 40 blue spruce from my conservation district. They are 5 year old trees and $4.00 each. They normally come about 3 ft high and are healthy. I
plant them every year on my property along with white & red Pines.

Where would someone find the contact info. to the different conservation districts to obtain the plants?
I did see 6' apple trees at Loews and Hom Depo in the fall for $9.99 each, I'm not sure what they are now. Will they grow with out watering them? |

just check conservation district for your county and they should have a number for you....every spring & fall the conservation will order trees for your area. If you cannot find a number reply back with what county you are in and I will ask the guy in my area who you should get ahold of. You need to order within the next 2 weeks because that is the cutoff period. (There are a big selection of trees including Apple trees) *also the trees you saw at Lowes & Home Depot are fine to plant...you just need to cage the apple trees or they will be ruined in 1 year.... and Walmart has them as well |

Blue Spruce & White Pine | #7 | ||
|
The Last I planted was 400 White Pine & 400 Blue Spruce. I watered all the trees once a week, very beautiful trees now. I love trees, I fenced in my yard
with some of the spruce, about 40 of them, and popular in the the back which I sprouted myself, with some Burch. All the Burch Died. I think the chemical
company we had spray the farm, killed my Burch with over spray. They sprayed Roundup on a windy day, they give me $500 back for my trouble, so they thought
they could have been at fault also. Not worth making a big stink over.

ChokeCherry,Dogwood, probabaly a few apples. | #8 | ||
|
We will be planting 4 Choke cherries, 4 Dogwoods (not sure on the variety my brother in law picked those up), some apples, and probably transplanting some spruce trees. We have an area that has about 500 saplings coming up naturally so we are going to move some to another area. Also putting in a few acres of Outfitters choice. We are going up over Easter weekend to make preparations, then planting on the 24th. Can't wait to get up there. |
