    One Thousand Chestnut Trees - a Whitetail Deer Project

    AWESOME project Wayne! I've got a dozen of your trees caged and at least that many more living free range along the woods from the batch I got from you two years ago. Most are around 4'-5' tall now and looking good. Last fall I was able to collect and stratify some of the nuts from my own...

    One Thousand Chestnut Trees - a Whitetail Deer Project

It is growing in a good spot about thirty five feet from a row of 3'-4' others I started from nuts I...

    CHESTNUT

    I do the aluminum screen cage and I use mulch for the first two summers. I don't have much of a mice/vole problem and think mulch helps hold moisture better, just my preference. I'm not a fan of tubes at all.

    window screen vs. hardware cloth vs. ?

    All I use is aluminum window screen, mice/voles/bunnies can't chew through it and it last a long time and protects the trunk of a caged tree perfectly.

    CHESTNUT

    Another vote for Chinese, they grow the best for me too and seem to be the most DR variety out there.

    What can you tell me about caging trees?

    You will like the cages. You should still screen the bottom first couple feet of those trees to keep mice/voles and bunnies from eating bark and girdling them, especially during winter. I've had rabbits in my back yard barely slow down going through that 2"X4" welded wire.

    Stuff you have found on your property??

    I've found nothing as cool as most that have posted on this thread, did find some foundation stones in a big square in the woods and re-purposed some into a fire ring. The foundation had some daffodils next to it too. Also have a few huge stones marking steps of an old cellar and a big...
