Thanks, I hadn't seen the cold stream farm one, they have good prices.
Actually, that doesn't work worth a damn with acorns. They do better if you just cover them with leaf litter or mulch.Just find one of these & stick it in the dirt.

Buying trees and planting non-native species are both pretty idiotic in my book.

The local places around here want a bloody fortune for trees... YMMV.Just out of curiosity... why would someone buy trees online? What's wrong with a local grower or lowes/home depot?
Ha, I have plenty of maple trees etc but I've been really intrigued after finding a Dawn Redwood in a local park designed by Calvert Vaux. Obviously the tree wasn't part of his design since it was even discovered until the 1940's.Don't you have like 5 acres of forest?
It's called a shovel. Dig deeper than you think you need to, and water profusely.
I have three American chestnuts that have managed to get up to about twelve feet. I still hold that planting non-native species is generally bad mojo.You're right I'll just plant some chestnuts then.

Yeah. These are supposedly bred to be resistant - we'll see, or those who come after will. Then somebody will cut them down to make a parking lot.Isn't it tough to get those to live long, blightwise.

The tiger woods of trees.Thats because they were mixed with an Asian Chestnut tree.

Yeah, more meddling... I have also planted some blue spruces, which goes against what I have been preaching...Thats because they were mixed with an Asian Chestnut tree.

Wull, I have 75 acres of land, much of which is wooded - At the south end I have a significant infestation of buckthorn and Japanese honeysuckle, which crowd out local plants like shad.I just figure it's always better to plant as opposed to cut down.
