Planting Trees We Got From "Plants For Everyone" | Up Potting Blueberry & Blackberry Bushes"

Last week we told you about a plant haul we purchased from a group called "Plants for Everyone" that is in Asheville, North Carolina. Last week we picked them up and brought them home. We soaked the trees in a 5 gallon bucket of water overnight and the next afternoon, we got to planting.
We are planting 4 Carya Hardy Pecan Trees, 1 Jiro Persimmon, and 1 Pink Lady Apple Trees. The pecan are going next to our Dunstan Chestnut trees and the Persimmon and Pink Lady will go in our fruit orchard.
Along with this, we got some muscadine vines and some Blueberry bushes from "Plants for Everyone" sale as well. All of these are bareroot so it is important to get them in the ground or in a container as soon as possible for their survival.
We mix up a mixture of peat moss and potting soil for the blue berry bushes making sure to soak the peat moss ahead of time. Then we use straight potting soil for the muscadine bushes. We also pot up the bare root trees that are going to my cousin for him to plant.
Come along and join us on this journey of building out our small hobby farm. The ride is going to be fun.

Banyak pohon bagus tumbuh disana. Terima kasih telah menunjukkan kemajuan Anda kepada kami.

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

Thanks 🙏

[@OutdoorsandCountryLiving]

That will be nice when they are all producing. Good work & stay well. 😀

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

Thanks y’all. I can’t wait until they are. Have a great Sunday!!

[@OutdoorsandCountryLiving]

@@EarlybirdFarmSC I bet! Blessings to you as well.

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

Thanks 🙏

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

You have all the right tools. The new plantings look good Ronnie 👍

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

Thanks buddy. It sure makes a huge difference!

[@EssayonsFG]

Great deal on some fruit trees. Thanks for sharing how you put them in. Those will do great on the farm.

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

Thanks Rob. Yeah the pecan trees may take away but the fruit trees hopefully will only be a year or two. I know how two different Asian Persimmons!

[@MinuteontheMountain]

It's coming right along, Ronnie. That auger sure has to save you some time. Have a blessed weekend.

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

Yeah that auger is such a big help! Can’t wait till I’m getting some fruit and nuts! Thanks brother.

[@waltonboys9438]

Man it’s hard work to plant trees but it’ll definitely be worth it in the end. The twins are so big now 😊😊😊

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

Yeah it is hard work. Using the auger definitely helps my back. I can only do spurts with how my back hurts since that surgery back in 14. Yeah they growing like weeds. Morgan is almost 14 now too!

[@DaveCollierCamping]

Getting warm now

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

Yeah we had a little cool off this week.

[@DaveCollierCamping]

@@EarlybirdFarmSC It is a bit chilly here in Va, got a feeling the heat will kick on soon.

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

@@DaveCollierCamping Yeah it’s coming!

[@JeromeBeeFarm]

Go Betsie! I'm jealous of your dirt and space. That compost will help a bunch. I have to do that every time. Mystery tree shuffle. LOL

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

Thanks bestie lol. Man I tell ya my dirt is awful here. It’s a combination of red clay and what the locals call bill tallow. It’s a yellowish clay that smells awful. Hopefully with me doing this it will help!

[@emmascorner7473]

Wow, so happy to hear this! Thanks for sharing with us! New friend here wit full support 🔔❤👍

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

You are welcome. Did you see the Persimmon tree we planted? Do you like those as well?

[@LifewithBlindaandChuck]

I do believe that auger on the tractor is the way to dig a hole. Hope they all take and do well for you.

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

Thanks Chuck. Yeah ole Betsy is a digger for sure! It makes quick work for planting trees. Thanks buddy.

[@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors]

Lots of good trees are going in Ronnie. Thanks for showing us your progress. I have been reading some on paw paws ,whenever they are young, they like mostly shady spots. When they get a few years old, you can move to sunny locations..

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

You are right about the shade. I’m sure that is part of the problem. One other issue is these Paw Paws were wild ones growing in my area. They don’t good when you move them from what I read. I figured the tubes should provide shade for them. The ones I raised from seed are doing great and growing fine. It’s just these two that I moved that were growing wild that are not doing good. I actually got one last summer from West Virginia I dug up that was growing wild beside a road and it is doing great as well but it’s still potted. Are you planning on getting some too? Thanks buddy.

[@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors]

@@EarlybirdFarmSC yep, I am going to start a few this year. I have 200 paw paw seeds stratified in the fridge and 200 persimmon seeds also. Can't wait to get them planted.

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

@@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors That is awesome. I planted 5 from seeds. They grow wild here in my state as well and my buddy has them on the property. Are the persimmon American Persimmons? If you need more let me know, I got a half of a gallon zip lock bag in the fridge now. I saved them from this fall where I made persimmon pulp to make persimmons pudding!

[@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors]

@Earlybird Farm, SC yep, these are American. But what I read you can graft the Japanese onto the American and vise versa. The paw paw I am most likely going to use for rootstock.

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

@@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors I thought about doing that with the American(using for root stock) to raise some more Asian. I’ll have my own scion wood next season from the two I planted (Fuyu and Jiro) hopefully. I want to get done Pawpaw cultivars too if possible.

[@swampstalkeroutdoors]

Man I agree you definitely need a map of that place with all them trees, heck I would forget what was what the day after I planted them🤣 Great job on the video brother I got exhausted just watching you do all that work, I need a nap now😜 Next time show a video of the look on your wife’s face when you come in from working all day in your Sunday Britches! 🤣

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

Haha Sunday britches lol. This things are old. They are wrangler pants from the Walmarts. Yeah I got to get a map of the orchard for sure. Thanks buddy!

[@swampstalkeroutdoors]

🤣

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

Lol

[@bucktalesoutdoors7566]

Nice job Ronnie, that auger sure is handy. What’s the soil like in your part of SC ? Watching you auger them holes it looks pretty fertile. That compost will give em a good start.

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

Half of my county is sand and the other half is red clay. I’m close to the line but mine is mostly red clay or a yellowish clay the call bull Tallow. The back portion of my land is full of quartz rocks. It’s a weird mixture here lol. Yeah the auger sure is handy! Thanks Don.

[@bufforpingtonlife]

Thanks for the video! New subscriber here! I've wanted to plant a couple pecan trees but my husband disagrees. I can't dig a hole in rocks! He doesn't want to help. lol

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

Well every farm needs some pecan trees! I think they solidify a true Southern farm in my opinion, that is one reason I desire to plant them. I love your chickens btw!

[@bufforpingtonlife]

@@EarlybirdFarmSC I totally agree! We're on the side of a hill. You should be able to see my raised bed garden due to the rocks we have. I love the peacefulness where we are though. I love these chickens too! Thanks

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

@@bufforpingtonlife It sounds like a beautiful place!

[@DeanFamilyAcres]

You’re making some good progress on those trees! Do you have a video on your sprinkler/nursery area? I’d like to see what you used as I need to do similar with a sprinkler on mine. I’ve lost a few plants through the years bc of heat/lack of water.

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

Thanks buddy. I don’t have a video on it but I could do one to show you. It’s super simple.

[@waltonboys9438]

What does your compost consist of?

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

It is coffee grounds for the nitrogen component, leaves and rotted wood chips for the carbon source. I will add grass or comfrey from time to time too when I have it available. I will make a video soon on this I hope. Been meaning to do it for a few months!
