    Persimmons...how do I love thee...let me count the ways.....

    I ordered 25 each of persimmon and black cherry from Mason State Tree Nursery. Bare root stock with approx 80% survival after planting this spring.Never thought to ask about male and female. Kind of assumed there likely would be some of each. They have trees native to IL. Eugene...

    Tree excitement.

    Cut down the big cottonwood Saturday. Stunk like a sewer. Didn't get the notch clean so it tilted and stopped. Cut a little more in the back cut and it fell the rest of the way. Made a heck of a racket and snapped off a 6 inch choke cherry about 8 feet off the ground. Hope a friend wants the...

    Try giant foxtail. It grows, you mow it, it seeds out shorter. Mow it again, it seeds out even shorter. Ad infinitum.

    Tree with berries

    Tree with berries

    That closeup one in the second pikture is the one I tasted. Should it be deeper red? I'venever been around native plums before. Eugene

    Tree excitement.

    Thought I found a crab apple tree. Went back today for a closer look. It's a plum. I think a native plum. Can anyone confirm it? Wasn't much flesh on the stone. Took a bite and talk about astringent! It needs released. Gotta work on that when my saw has a new fuel line installed. Sent from my...
