On my invasive's I did a window cut then used Tordon RTU on the roots. Have to use it on a fresh root cut. Took awhile but seemed to work.

Going to cut to the chase. Recently mentioned the big acorn and the massive Cicadia swarms were a thing nature does to survive. I agree. But it's about the timing. The Cicadia lives for years under trees to connect with roots and absorb nutrients. The tree has a parasite for years and works hard to survive. All of a sudden this creature rises to the above earth Now thousands of pockets of Cidadia waste are exposed to roots of tree. Also when it does rain these tunnels to the surface let water in and fill up the cavity where the thing lived for years.

Yeah a couple years ago they were giving it away for free. I checked after filming this and it looks like they don’t give it away anymore. But you can find hard copies online. The website I obtained this from for free along with many other nursery manuals is rngr.net

Levi, Very nice discussion about acorns, propagation techniques, and yes, water testing for non viable ones. The best outcome for your new chicken house (much thanks for the lumber production that your dad provides). I just signed up for a subscription status. Looking forward to more fascinating videos from you. Yes! You are the local “Oak Man” Always thankful, Roy

I have white oak acorns out the wazoo this year. I contacted my local department of forestry to see if they wanted any. They have not responded at all. So apparently here in VA we have plenty of them with nothing to worry about needing to renew white oaks. If you want I can send you an abundance of acorns, as many as you want. Just let me know. Thanks

Was watching your dad's video this morning sawing lumber for your chicken coop. I viewed a video from Simple Living Alaska a while ago where they were cleaning their coop and they had linoleum on the floor. They said it made clean up so much easier as the 💩 didn't stick to the wood floor. Something to think about.

I unfortunately just have enough for myself to grow. But check in with my friend David. I don’t know if he has many chestnut seeds left, but he offers a lot of different tree seeds. And great prices. I’ve bought some species I can’t find from him for a few years and he’s got top quality seed. facebook.com/share/BrX818RBQQbmUHZu/?mibextid=LQQJ4d

Excellent video Levi. I learned quite a bit from you. Up here in Southern Ontario I have never ever seen all the acorns that we have this year. I hope its not a sign of a brutal winter? My wife and I went to visit my old neighborhood in Toronto and let my dog run around in our childhood park. We came upon a huge Chestnut tree and collected a bag full. I've been giving them to the squirrels in my backyard and they sure do take them. I was amazed at how big these chestnuts were. You need to level out a good piece of ground and start your own nursery. I can just see it now :) Have a blessed day my friend :)

As always appreciate the knowledge. Any tips for transplant of, I’m guessing, wild white oak. I am working 30 acres, 10 acres with 80 to 100 foot short needle white pine. The under canopy is covered in small oaks 3’ to 20’. I’ve been told I can relocate oaks up to 8’ tall I’ve tried three (6’ish) and one magnolia all died. Trying to set up the oaks to replace the pines as I cut them down, also put oak on 10 acres of scrub brush I’m clearing. Any tips will be appreciated.
@ThaidupwiththeMorgans24 күн бұрын
That’s tough. Oaks really don’t like to be transplanted. Only time you can get away with it is with one year seedlings after that the roots get so large. But that’s not to say it can’t be done I’m sure people have pulled it off. I just know oaks don’t handle that transplant well. Best of luck. Sorry I wasn’t much help
@growzen385323 күн бұрын
@@ThaidupwiththeMorgans all good, I will try again with smaller oak saplings/seedlings. I have lots of them, just been trying to save the larger ones, and mowing over the tiny ones. If I can ever find any acorns, I will try your air prune bed idea. Seems anything with trees is a long term project. Appreciate the response, looking forward to learning more as you pass on knowledge sir.
