Anyone planting this seed mix again? Everyone put down 10 lbs per acre? Any other pics of it from last year?

How wide?

Good info here on SWO. I will be planting 200 seedlings this coming spring. Hoping to get acorns in a short amount of time 7-8 yrs would be ideal.

Got it TurkeyCreek - these 3 pears are going right next to each other.

I only want to do singles of pear trees, because quite frankly I am not a fan (but some of my family would like to eat them) and not sure how well they will grow. This spot is easy access to go into and spray/pick apples without disturbing the rest of the property. Also, it is the higher...

Oh, I will have some family members helping me on planting day - hoping there will be 4 of us at least to get it done in a day. I will have all materials ready and the fencing/window screens pre-cut. I have access to a 10" PTO Auger to dig the holes. I'll have 500 gallons of water sitting on a...

I will be planting 100 SWO in another location just below the apple trees and they will be tubed to protect them. Hoping they produce acorns within 10 years. There are also a few white oaks mixed in the woods already but I want more acorns so hence the SWO going in. I am all for the crab...

As mentioned I already have the protectant materials bought and stored for these trees. So that isn't a concern for me. My concern now is what 50 trees to plant and spacing. I have access to a 10" PTO auger I will use for planting. Each Remesh circle will have 15' of material for just under 5'...

Appreciate the feedback. I was going to forgo the mulch so I don't invite the critters in to nest near my trees. I will keep the bases weed free though. Goldrush - that is my worry as well that it won't ripen in my zone but I have heard of others planting them in Zone 4b and are doing ok. I...

These will be planted in the spring of 2017 in Zone 4 on loamy soil. I want apples from Aug-Feb if possible and hoping the varieties below will do the trick. Main focus is for wildlife but you can bet I will be eating my fair share of these as well - so I will be spraying for the long haul. I...
