This is that time..... pt. 2

I believe I mentioned this before...can't find the post...so here I am again...this is the time to do your transplants...divide up stock, plant potted trees or ones with good root balls.

 Also again..hold off on downing that "dead" tree if you liked and wanted it. I am out Daily and still got a WOW welcome surprise yesterday...My old  Meader persimmon tree that was "killed" by bark borers two years ago. It sprang to life in a big way. I had plans to cut it down and remove the fencing,  but just ...Well I'm just one person. Anyways walk by it yesterday as I do everyday and bam! 4ft of growth in sprouts around the base now of course that is the root stock which is probably male..seeing the Meaders are suppose to be self pollinating hybrids and they need both male and female flowers to do that. I'll take it..I have several growing near it that I'm hoping are females. So again don't always jump to a cutting down and removal...this tree took 2 years to come back...

I also walked past my Goji berry bushes that were planted this spring...they are covered in little purple flowers...they flower June through August and fruit Sept through Oct.  that was also a nice surprise.

I have a hundred  or so of white oak, ankle high that needs to be transplanted. Planted nuts last fall and now are a good eight inches tall. Had good luck last year planting maples in Early October.

I'll be buying some crab apples and deer pears, maybe even a few more white oak to plant next month. Maybe some pine for cover

I just figured out the relevance of your name, growalot!

Ya it could be confusing if Googled...I did that one day...a whole bunch of "pot" sites popped up....lol

I have found some  6 inch seedlings red oak and shag bark hickory under some elder trees that I will attempt to transplant this fall. They are tougher to transplant due to a fast growing tap root. Would it be better to root prune this season and transplant next?

with them being only 6" a long spade should be able to get all the root...transplant and protect....I have a bunch of sassafras trees I need to get down here soon.

Yes I DO!......just not the "fun " kind.....though the way the deer hammer it.....hhhmmmmm

The kids lost all the pines at their place...so they are on their way to dig up some of out maples and what ever they may like...they may take a sassafras or two...perhaps some spruce and my clump bamboo.

Before anyone says it...not all bamboo is equal...this hasn't moved more than 3 ft in 15 year' s It's more like a 6ft high Leafy grass than bamboo.
