The best way to deal with the nutritional value issue is to suggest we should all eat some of the chestnuts because of their health value. Did you know they are the only nut providing Vit. C (up to 30% of your DMR). Good protein and carbs in late fall / early winter. Lots of wonderful minor...

.NH ... y'all have -- arguably - some of the finest sawtooth oak trees ever to root in KY. In relation to my earlier post, and internet sites, I'm one who readily accepts the shared agreement among professionals posting on quality sites. The first item I share doesn't necessarily meet that...

the fencing in the last photo looks like some of mine after the mower-man gets done "snagging" it. Overall nice photos; good job

Wounds on an oak tree should usually be sealed (ASAP / white/black latex paint will do) 10 months out of a year. Best thing is to prune oak trees during the months of Dec.-Jan. "Sealing a fresh cut on a tree with pruning paint is usually not recommended, as it interferes with the natural...

Congrats; excellent deer. And, the photo of him at the old corn pile is a nice companion piece should you decide to secure a mount. Enjoy your trip and good luck!

This site - https://efotg.sc.egov.usda.gov › references › public - is a short (4-page) guide on releasing apple trees and pruning them for best results. The suggestions should hold true for any type of fruit tree. While not persimmons, it might be useful for you. In answer to your question...

Taking the first 3 criteria alone, it seems desirable to plant habitat oak trees that produce 1) large numbers, of 2) big acorns on 3) a regular basis. Several nurseries will make a claim for one or more of these characteristics (many push the fast growth idea) regarding a particular type of...

RGrizzzz ... agreed; some mast producing trees only produce on a very irregular basis. Consequently, I never plant an acorn/tree that I don't know the trees parentage. Although genetics is only one part of a tree's production capability, I believe it is prudent to give your trees every...

Beautiful deer/mount; great drop tine and I like the quasi-mask effect across his nose. Hope he had a lot of hookups with the neighborhood does. :)

Clearly worthy of a full body mount; perhaps in the sneak position on a cheese cracker.

That beautiful machine ain't no head turner; it's a head snapper! Congratulations ... to say you do excellent work is an understatement. Thanks for sharing. :)

No hard freeze; I hope, I hope, I hope! How about the bowling-pin-deer-prune on the Norway spruce.
