Thanks....this rain is helping them out a lot!
Got some Japanese persimmon , one big Sawtooth, and some willow oaks going in now.
This is a big Sawtooth that I grew at home.
My oldest son has taken a big interest in the tree planting. He is 15 now and has probably planted a few thousand by now. He loves to go back and walk through after good green up has started and see what kind of spring growth the trees are getting.
its amazing how fast they grow, the older you get.. My grandfather used to say, "The older you get, the faster time goes by"... Man, he wasn't joking !
.this is just before green up in 2014.
.This is one years goth on this same tree in 2015 after green up.
This is a good look at the way the chestnuts pollinate.
This is a live oak.
I have about 30-40 live oaks planted.
This is a swamp chestnut i grew from an acorn.
I cleaned up around my crabapple row that had grown up too much.
Now a couple after pictures.
Great looking place and well worth the time you have put into it. Glad to see your son take a interest in tree planting also.

New after pictures. Young sawtooth orchard style planted minimum 25x30 spacing some more. They start behind the first row .first row is crabapple.
60 young sawtooth that will start getting the fertilizer like my other sawtooth orchard gets.
Look at the leaves they are a little pale and will be dark green next spring after fertilizing.
Another picture from the newly cleaned around sawtooth.
Dark green from fertilizing also.
This is a mahaw that I got at the county free tree give away. This is the only mahaw I have planted.
This is another picture of sawtooth trees. Side by side parked for size comparison.
Checked my trees today and my sawtooth has acorns this yr for first time. Even a three yr old tree has acorns.
I can't believe how well they are doing!
