Chinquapins usually put most energy/growth in root growth the first 2-3 years..

Join the Ozark chinquapin foundation. They send seed to members every year. This years harvest wasn't as plentiful as last year due to squirrels taking much of the crop cue to lack of acorns, so not sure how many seed each member will receive, but you should get some each yea and in good years...

Most Chinese just have resistance to blight because they evolved with the blight in China, but they're not immune to it. I've definitely lost Dunstan's to blight, and Dunstan's are 97-99% Chinese. There's a new way to test for blight through leaf inoculation and some of these new Ozark...

Thanks. I just ordered a lot of wild huckleberry bushes from Tennessee nursery to plant under the chinquapins, oaks and pines...

Haven't logged on here in a long time as I've been pretty busy with business and the kiddos over the past couple of years, and don't spend as much time on the forums as I used to. At some point I'll post a few pictures as to how some of the trees are doing that I posted about in past years on...

Ozark chinquapins are some of the best trees you can plant for wildlife...unless you're in American chestnut country. I have a lot from the OCF planted on our place, but have also been collecting seed from wild trees we've been locating in parts of northeast Texas. I pollinated a couple of trees...

Yep..I saw a few plums on the Mexican plum tree that were just starting to get a little red on them on that last trip up. Plan on going again in a couple of week and hope some are still hanging on. I've found plum trees that had ripe plums on the ground during bow season on the Sam Houston...

It's near a creek ad its been pretty wet this year, so yes. I didn't see a leaf on any of these...just a bunch of the colorful clusters shown in the pic. A couple of years back on an elevated hillside under the canopy of some old hardwoods I did come across a few green dragon plants that were...

So I posted this on my property thread, but haven't yet got an ID on it. Started to send it to a biologist to see if he knew. There were several of them growing and something had been eating on one...

Howdy Bill, I only saw a couple of my sun chokes that had been browsed by deer, but the majority are doing pretty good. I planted the yellow poplar probably in the fall of 2013 and most did pretty well the first year, but during their second summer it had gotten so hot and dry that I thought...

There were lots of other plants I didn't get photos of like the apple trees, which are doing well, and some of the blueberry plants and pecan and walnut seedlings I've planed. Anyway, hope to get back next month and bring more updates...

Came across several of these on the north side of the property near the creek. Anyone know what this is? never seen it before but looked like something had eaten part of one...

The plum trees have really grown up on our place and forming a thicket now. We have both chickasaw and Mexican plum growing on the place but all these in the pic are chickasaw

Large Chinkapin oak growing at the edge of a high line on our place will be putting on a few acorns this fall
