What good wildlife trees and/or shrubs have grown the best for y'all in really sandy soil. I found a sandy area that needs an upgrade in plants (right now Chinaberry likes it, so I'm hacking and squirting Alot!)
I live in heavy ag country and believe I should focus more on holding deer than feeding them (which we have concentrated on primarily before with trees, food plots etc). The food will still stay but I am curious as to the best way to create our small parcels of woods surrounding our age fields...

Has anyone planted hybrid oaks and seen results? I'm interested in adding some for diversity but wanted to see if any of you have had any good/bad experiences. Also, does any site sell hybrid oak acorns? I appreciate any info
