lack of pollination?
lack of pollination for the most part
Otter! Otters are a HUGE problem here, they clean out the small rivers and wipe out ponds. Up North otters are rare, but here they were introduced by the MDC and took off like Johnson Grass on steroids. Fighting them is futile, and my pond might as we be a frog pond now.

It's cool seeing your pics. I have planted a lot of what you have on your place, just yrs behind. Its like looking into the future (I hope). Keep up the good work!

With normal rain I'd be way in the future, as it is you might catch up! Notice that the drop times coincide with prime bow season!
A few years ago I trapped seven otters and the problem stopped, but not before otters ate ever single catfish out of the pond. I still have bass, but Otters are working on them, and the pond is down three feet.

I noticed! Do you have anything that will drop later in the season? I'm trying to find those plants too...

Not all of my Allegheny Chinkapins have dropped and Kieffer Pears have not dropped yet, nor have the big Bur Oaks. Chestnuts are dropping and my Dunstans seem to drop later than Chinese.

My Sawtooth finished dropping last week (between the various trees we had about a month of dropping), DCO's dropped about a month ago, Chinkapins dropped for about a month and are done now, Red/Pin oaks are dropping now, Burr started dropping a couple of weeks ago but the majority are just starting. My problem with the natives is that when some are dropping, all are dropping.
I'm hopeful that the non-native stuff I've been planting will start about now and go into December. Having a late season or rut food source would be awesome!
