Bought a bunch of trees

[SplitG2]

Geno, I usually plant 500-1000 trees/shrubs. Just don't have the time or money this year.

[Geno C]

wow thats a lot of trees! im sure that can get pricey

[SplitG2]

Tree/shrubs price usually isn't the issue. Its the stakes and tree tubes that gets pricey.

[Geno C]

yes very true... do you have a website that you use that has good pricing?

[SplitG2]

MDC Nursery has very good pricing and quality trees/shrubs

Adams and Cummings for apple

Plugs i use Idaho state nursery and itasca

for tubes and such...i use ben medows.

i was looking at these ones the other day.

i was thinking about getting a few

I checked out the links and both those varieties ripen in september. I was hoping to find one that ripens later. I know they exist, I just can't find what they are called. I'll keep searching. Thanks.

_{Try the wildlifegroup....not sure of the zone but gate and galloway are late maturing pear.}

[Geno C]

hey split you ever grow apple trees from seed? just curious... i have a bunch of seeds in the fridge and i planted 6 so far and all 6 are sprouting through the soil, some are about 2" high already.

just an experiment really.

[SplitG2]

Geno, I never have. My understanding is when propagated the new tree will not be like the parent and fruit will be different. Let us know in five years how they turned out lol.

[Geno C]

yeah from what i have been reading they will be nothing like the parent unless grafted... im not looking for it to be the same but to make some fruit. i will let you know if 5 years or so lol

I have never had any problems with Aarons or TyTy or Realtree.

I found these reviews when I searched for the nurseries:

Yeah, the reviews were absolutely horrible.

I did order two trees from them, a Braeburn apple, and a Transcendent crab.

I paid a premium because I wanted large trees. The Braeburn was beautiful, the crab was adequate.

[Geno C]

Wow shocking... I was extremly pleaseed with my entire transaction with Aaron's and the tree quality. I will do business with them again very soon. I saw tyty before and went with Aaron's, I never would have guessed any relation at all. I do know that Aaron's supplies companies with trees so maybe that's the case? What another company does with those trees and they conduct business shouldn't be put on them... The tree quality to me looked great

[Ford]

Indeed they have some horrific reviews. (Some of the reviews I noticed are gone) I ordered large trees, and yet my experience with them was good. I received my trees right on time, and packaged well.

Looking to get some Enterprise this season. Maybe one or two..It is not the price of the trees, but protecting them. The fencing is getting expensive!

the reviews are from 2007... my experience was way more then satisfying.

Gino buying a new plot of land? Where? I know you had your plot up by me. Too far or not productive?

[Geno C]

yeah looking to buy in a different area all together... my current property is great, has everything a hunter can need. the drive is perfect, not far at all, its the same drive for me to chemung county. i have friends and family in chemung so if i bought land up by them i can do stuff to my property while visiting and hanging out with everyone up there. Its more pricey in that county but i think long run it would be a better move. look at the pics on page 2 in my FS thread, its plenty productive lol

at least if i buy land up in Chemung i cant stay with family up there rather then get a hotel room or camp out.

[Geno C]

well i bought 4 more trees

 

1 dolgo Crab (6-7')

1 Transcendent Crab (6-7')

2 elberta peach trees (3')

 

i also have another 15 trees coming soon... im at about 35 fruit and nut trees in pots so far lol.

 

cant wait to buy another piece of land to plant them

Gino...have you pulled the plants out of your garage yet? I had ordered 10 bare root chestnut trees, planted them in pots, and have them sitting in the garage. Just not sure when it is safe to keep them outside?

[Geno C]

I'm not pulling mine out until temps stay in the mid to high 50s maybe even low 60s. Some are sprouting branches and leaves but if put out to early the leaves will fall a d will shock the tree a bit so I'll wait until the weather warms up and stays consistent.
