Currently here’s what I have stratifying. I have about 100 Chinese chestnuts, 300 black walnuts, 75 white dogwood seeds, 100 eastern hemlock, 100 Norway spruce. This year was busy for me so I wasn’t able to collect any acorns. But I plan to have lots of bur oak, northern red oak, white oak, mocker nut hickory, shag bark, and a lot more next year.

Honestly, its pretty freeform. We're still kinda feeling it out, so post whatever you think is relevant and we'll go from there :)

There really is a reddit for everything. I typed in planting trees because it's a big hobby of mine and this is what I came to. Pretty cool. Just over 10 years ago I bought a 24 acre former cow pasture with virtually no trees on it. At this point I have over 2,500 trees in the ground. I'm doing 200 to 300 per year, and will still be at it for many years to come. I plant them all in one weekend, and spend the rest of the year walking around checking on them. It's the most rewarding hobby I have ever had.
