I know it might sound crazy, what with the drought and all we had last year. I love growing things though, and improving habitat. I have 96 of the Rootmaker 18 cells that will be loaded with trees within 2 more weeks. I am growing Bur Oaks, Sawtooth Oaks, a few Goobler Sawtooths, some Wildlife Chestnuts form Empire, and a few Sauls Oaks. Growing all of them from seed/nuts. Not to mention I have already planted about 50 bare-root Allegheny Chinkapins and a few Dwarf Chinkapin Oaks over the last year, most of them this fall after it started raining. I even kept about 6-8 of last springs plantings alive through last years drought!!!!
Anyone else like me and do that kind of thing?
I know they will take many years to produce (some are MUCH faster than others), but I figure if no one every plants them, then they will never be there. Someones gotta do it and maybe at least my children can enjoy it. The Bur Oaks I collected the seed from a local tree that produced during last years drought, and they are already 6" tall and coming on like gangbusters.
