Don, how big is your cabin? Square footage?
Don - Post up some pics of your cabin. Very nice buck you're going to be chasing this fall.
I thought about doing the same thing, but with the way the sprout and grow in the yard I was afraid of starting an invasive on our land.

Gotcha. I spend a ton of time chasing down new locust and hedge trees that seem to pop up everywhere! Different situation and frame of mind...
You want some locust seeds?

Thorns make them a pain. I don't mow them because I seem to get more flats. I have to cut each one and burn them. They always make sure I bleed a little for what I'm doing to them.

I'm going to try something. I had a bunch of silver maple trees sprout up around my yard this spring. I transplanted them into pots and I'm going to plant them at the farm. They're not the most desirable tree but they grow really fast and I'll take any tree I can get as I don't have a lot of trees. These things were only two or 3 inches tall just a few months ago. They grow pretty fast. I'll probably leave them potted through the winter and plant them next spring.View attachment 1690View attachment 1691View attachment 1692

I have started several silver maples from seed. My cousin who lives across the road from our other property has several silver maples. One of the seeds helicopter'd its way to the end of our other house about 10 years ago and terminated and is about 35 ft tall now. It has its own seeds now and about 4 years ago I planted some and those trees took a beating from the deer for a little bit with browsing but now they are about 12 feet or so...
They have a hard time with drought when getting established but once they get a little bigger they can take it...
