the acorns I snaffled last year were thrown in a tote of dirt and 8 sprouted into lovely wee saplings. Managed to get cherry seeds from the trees across the road this year so hopefully some of them will do the thing and I have a wee bag of Dog Rose, Rowan and Birch seeds ready to get thrown in another tote when I get a spare one.

My experience with air prune beds to start 48 tree walnut grove: Pacific Northwest. BC Canada. I was motivated to try air prune beds last year from your and Akivas videos. black walnut, heart nut, carpathian and butternut from seed sourced from Grimos nut nursery In fall. Cold stratified in 5 gallon buckets in sand buried in ground over winter. They grew to 1-2ft in their first year in air prune beds. Easier to transplant and dig out than seedlings in raised bed. More roots instead of one single taproot. Took a wet clay field and dug pits and mounds with mini excavator. 4 rows of 12 trees. 25ft spacing between trees and rows. 1 hay bale covered each mound in fall. Dig out 1yr old walnut trees and planted this year spring 2023. 6ft plantra Tree tubes with 1/2” rebar stake protect each tree from deer. Most are 3-4ft, some are poking out of top of 6ft tree tube! It is irrigated with 4 emitters, about 5 ft spiral of 1/4” drip line around each tree. Comes off 1/2 main line. 1 zone timer 15min. Once per day. 1 cup of each Fish bone, dolomite, ag lime and mixed organic fert top dressed. mulched with 1/2 garbage can of chips.

I built out a box last season and started some black walnuts. They’ve germinated and grown beautifully till the Texas heat dried out the box a bit to fast. That’s a management issue more than anything. But might be worth mentioning especially if you’re trying to use driveway space or something similarly heat absorbing. Keeping up on the watering is really important for this system but otherwise works great!

My chestnut seedlings almost always look chlorotic/yellow by late July or August while all of the other plants growing around them are nice and green. Chestnuts like a much more acidic soil than most plants; when I water them with some acidifying fertilizer, it seems to help rectify that. Worst case they can just hang out until they go dormant and hopefully the people who plant them will have appropriate soil and they'll look happier next season. This year I have very few chestnuts because this is the first year that chipmunks showed up to raid my nursery area and they pulled 100% of my hazelnuts and most of the chestnuts out to eat the nuts...next year I will have to build the wire "tops" as shown in your video, but I did manage to get away without those for 6-7 growing seasons.

This season (literally, haha) of edible acres is my favorite. I've got a couple of air prunes and I've got a good friend in Bloomfield with a bunch of them. Seeing plants push up the lids is absolutely thrilling. Also your video with the persimmon seedlings was a balm to our self-esteem regarding the size of our own persimmon seedlings. And the notes on iron chlorosis for chestnuts was spot on for anxieties ive had this year, can't wait to plant them out in the acidic (and terrible, volusia silt loam) soil they're destined for. Akiva says they do well there. All your videos on perennial production are my favorite! Love seaberry and honeyberry and recently I've been getting into currants. Thanks again!

Failure on my airprune boxes this year but I know where I went wrong, I had a couple of old coffee tables that I acquired I took the tops off and replaced the tops with a grill and put the soil frames on top which brought the soil level once filled to waste height (very handy) but not great in a hot environment and we are very windy hear in Cyprus Med so they have been constantly drying out due to too much airflow, something will pop they then die straight away, lessor learnt easy access isn’t always best. I am ground planting all my seeds and kernels this year over the winter I will prep some more airprune beds just off the ground and try again next year. Onwards.

I plan on shoeing them into the ground for the winter and potting up next spring to give to friends, plant on a few properties I have access to, and of course for guerrilla planting in my area 😄 I’m thinking of using my box for hazelnut hybrids and heartnut to stratify and grow out into 2024

One 2'x4' box of Black Walnuts doing amazing. Pawpaws and Osage Orange seem to be a flop. 2 boxes of each and only have about 7-8 osage orange. Very discouraging. But hopeful for next year. Oh! And 1/4 of a box of Catalpa doing really well. Especially since they share the end if the black walnut box. They seem to be happy enough sharing that space. I did that as an experiment and it seems to be working. Also have about 150 honeylocust trees doing well, but they are just in a deep bed, not air prune box. Should've swapped them with one of the osage boxes, but anticipated success with those weed trees, so I dedicated 2 boxes to osage. Might swap it next year. Trying to grow enough hedgerow trees to surround 19 acres. Getting a very slow start. Oh, Sean will like this part. I bartered for my honey locust seed. I didn't have any, so I traded 3 elderberry plants for a garbage bag full of pods from a new friend.

If it is iron chlorosis, I've found that if you have some rusty nails (and let's be honest, what homestead DOESN'T?!) then soak them is a watering can for a while then water with it, it really helps with a supercharge of iron. I've been trialing growing lemons in pots in Rhode Island, they have high iron requirements and this seems to help quite a bit!

I just discovered these round pods (not sure what they are called) You expose the cambium layer of the tree branch and clip the pod filled with peat or coir around it. They are referred to as being air layering. So far I have put one on my best fig tree. Hoping it doesn't burn up in this relentless Texas heat. We could sure use some prayers here for relief from the heat and drought.

I'm certainly a bit concerned about how the transplants will go this fall, especially for the walnut-family with their taproots. I'm rather interested in experimenting with these air prune boxes next year, though I'll need to go smaller for reasons of space and manageability.

I haven't started trees from seed, although the squirrels started a number of them for me! Those tree seedlings of yours look great, especially the hazels. The deer have eaten all the leaves off my black cherry seedling, and sample the hazels from time to time. An air prune box or other actual cover would be good for them - they are fenced but have grown out of the top of the short round fences/tree guards. Speaking of tree guards, of all the elders I planted out in the field, the only ones that survived were inside of plastic cylinder tree guards. I think they held the water through the drought better than the ones I made from hardware cloth. I had three elder cuttings left when I finished out in the field and I stuck them in a very large plastic pot that had held flowers from the previous owner here. It must have had clogged drainage, because throughout the drought it virtually never needed watering, and those three are my biggest elders!

Hi Sean, planning on building a few boxes this month for the coming growing season down here in Tasmania, Australia. Will be growing different plants then you though most likely. Might experiment with some Loquats and Feijoas (evergreens) to start out with to get a feel for how they work in my situation and climate. Super excited to give it a go. I've already started a bunch of currant and elderberry cuttings in a dedicated propagation bed after watching lots of your videos. Plan is to start a small home nursery in a couple of years and to learn as much as I can between now and then. Thanks :)

Hi, Sean! Thanks for sharing, those seedlings look beautiful, a small forest in the box ❤ I live in zone 4. I want to collect the seeds from the trees in the park (maples, oaks, hazelnuts etc) in October. Do I have to keep them in the fridge till spring for stratification and then start an airprune bed outside? Then take the seedlings out of the boxes next fall and lay horizontally to keep covered by snow for their 1st winter? Is that correct? Thanks ❤
@edibleacres

Collect seeds, you can store in fridge or I like drilled out buckets with compost/woodchips/shredded leaves and seeds mixed in, covered to keep animals out and buried over winter in chips or in well drained soil. Planted spring, dug out in the fall and 'heeled in' for winter or planted out. Roots HAVE to be buried when they come out, not bare in the snow!

kzbin.info/aero/PLihFHKqj6Jeo64lENH9D-LCsjD0cVQVx1 - This is a playlist I put together of air prune box related videos we've made. There are lots of ideas and variations on the theme presented in them, so it may have value to check out? Short and direct answer is air prune boxes are amazing at growing 1st year seedlings of trees that meet two criteria... 1) They tend to have a tap root when very young, so the mesh with air under it at the bottom helps them shed the tap root and focus on fibrous root systems instead and 2) tend to be eaten by creatures, so the protection below and on the sides coupled with a 'cap' as shown here can help protect... Chestnut, Hazel, Hickory, Walnut, and a few others do incredibly well with this system... Good luck and so wonderful to know you are excited to explore this at 80 years old, what inspiration, thank you!!!

More than just shade, I feel we need to trap the moisture and for me that has always made a bit of a soupy environment with rotten leaves and (eventually) stems. Any ideas would be great to hear.

Wood chips, wood chips, and then more woodchips. Did I mention wood chips? They are great water batteries. Especially for growing trees. I bought 1000 hazelnut seedlings bare root last year. To nursery them, I just heeled the whole bundle, 25 each bundle, into a huge pile of wood chips. Due to lack of rain this Spring, they are still there. And they are thriving. No soil, just happily growing in a 1 year old pile of chips.

I’m thinking pioneering species, bordering on the ’invasive’ as long as they are not on a ’blacklist’ and natives, most for chop and drop to try and create soil on site. The site will be a building site so very few "in situ" planting can occur for 1 to 2 years. I don’t know the English names’of most. Tamaris, autumn olive, nefle, mimosa, pomegranate, circus, maybe even pawlovnia, oak, greennoak, And a ’fun’ dedicated fruit tree air pruning box where kids and kids at heart can plant their ’snacking fruits’ brought to this workshop/ coop day.

I do have a very small channel and I have had success with air pruned boxes, I have some Saskatoon berries this year, you can see them here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oISbgGB_bbmnZq8 I actually had 3 air pruned boxes at the start of the season, 2 were dedicated to hazelnuts which I started from seed, but I got lazy with covering them and the chipmunks went in and tore out all my seedlings to get the nuts, lesson learned! Last year I successfully grew 50 American Persimmons in air pruned beds. Thanks so much for your inspiration and teachings!

I'm growing about 30-40 Sweet Chestnut trees I found on my Island, Vancouver Island; anyways, they've got sun scalding on there leaves, hopefully they recover. I used hardware mesh around the perimeter of the box but I think it would be more cost effective to use fleece early on in the season, and then mesh going throughout the season. I filled mine with high quality bagged compost for containers, I might experiment more with some homemade compost this autumn. There's a decent population of squirrels where I live, but they mainly focus on the Oregon Oaks and the acorns provided our island doesn't have a big population of hazelnuts or chestnuts around, most of the west coast to my knowledge doesn't. With enough time working with hazelnuts and chestnuts the squirrels will soon pay attention and cause problems, lets hope not, knock on wood. I will most likely make an attempt to make 2 more this winter, one for the hazelnuts, and another for the recently discovered Carpathian walnuts growing around my neighborhood! I spaced my chestnuts out 1-2 inches apart, mulched with pine shavings and have just recently harvested fresh green hazelnuts, I'm wondering how far apart you folks space your nuts out in these air prune beds?

So great you are experimenting and learning here. We plant the nuts pretty close, like maybe 1" or max 2" apart, but thats because we have so many to find spaces for!

Fleece won’t stop the squirrels. Try window screens if cost is an issue. The old metal screen, not the fiberglass as a hungry squirrel will chew through it (experience)

I’m new to the channel so am not aware what an air prune box is. Would someone kindly explain the concept to me? Thank you.

Plenty of other content here from Sean describing the process in more detail….much more than anyone could easily type out here in the comments. But the basic concept is a screened bottom box, that is raised a few inches above ground level, which forces the tree roots to spread laterally and create stronger root systems, rather than a single deep taproot. When the roots come in contact with the open air at the bottom, it sends a signal to the tree, or any plant growing in the system, to create more side roots, as the roots won’t grow into the open air. kzbin.info/aero/PLihFHKqj6Jeo64lENH9D-LCsjD0cVQVx1

Couldn't say exactly except there is some very seriously rich compost with good perlite and wood chips at the bottom...
