I'm looking to add a couple Yates and Arkansas Blacks along with preferred crab apple to pollinate. They'll be on approximately an acre.
Looking for suggestions on very disease resistant semi dwarf root stock and a nursery to purchase from.
I'm in zone 7B eastern Va.
Thanks, Mark
have any of y’all cloned persimmons?
A neighbor has a few that produce well each and I would like to harvest a few branches if they’ll clone well.
Thanks for any response.

I just currently discovered The Hunting Beast craze. It raises a few questions from me.
How many of y'all employ this style of hunting and how successful has it proved to be? Thanks in advance.

Is it just me or are long sleeve shirts being made with droopy armpits now?
Having a tough time find some that fit good in the torso and long enough sleeves.
Talking about Camo shirts. Any recommendations from the group?
I received some AC's a few weeks ago and I have them in the fridge with the sphagnum moss. The little rascles have sprouted radicals.
Would it hurt anything to put them in root trapper cells and set them in the shed, and do I need to put the trays in bags?
Thanks for the replies. Mark
I'm using 5 gal buckets with an 1/8 “ hole drilled near the bottom edge to water my seedlings.
I’m in zone 7a, how many times a week should I be filling them up?
The trees are ACs, Chinese Chestnut and American Plum.
What are the chances that the acorns and chestnuts that have sprouted and are in 18 cell trays outside are going to survive the freezing temps at night here in eastern Va?
Thanks for the replies.

You guys that use RM 18 trays with your acorns, what type of stands or tables are you using.
I'm Thinking about building a screen type closet on wire racks and screen for top and sides. This will be set up outside.
Thanks for your answers/pictures.
I checked on the chestnuts stored in the crisper and found 5 have sprouted. Would it hurt to put these into 18 cell pots this early I'm in southeast Virginia.
I had some Chinquapins sprout in the fridge last year and I waited to plant. The radicals dried out and the nuts died.
Thanks for the...
I hacked and squirted some gum trees with gly (round up) early fall. When or how long will it take to see them die off.
They are around the same size as a 5 gallon bucket and some are larger. I hacked at least 6-7 times around them and sprayed the cut heavy with straight gly.

I have several oaks of various sizes in diameter amoungst each other.
The biggest I can't wrap my arms around and are extremely tall, the smaller ones are two liter bottle size and aren't nearly as tall.
Which trees would be more desirable to keep?
Thanks, Mark
While sitting on stand this afternoon I was hearing acorns fall. Im in eastern Va., is this normal?
I believe the trees responsible are swamp chestnut oaks.
Thanks, Mark
i have Chinese chestnuts in open ziplock bags, 10-12 nuts per bag.
Half of my bags have mold on the nuts, fuzzy mold. 3 of 6
I lost nuts last year to mold too. I used the long leaf moss stuff, still got it.
What am I doing wrong?
