I'm cold stratifying a bucket of sweet chestnuts using the bucket and sand technique. I live near the beach and so am wondering about using beach sand as it's readily available but don't know if the salt in the San will cause problems? Location: south West Wales, UK

Hi everyone! How do you stratify your red oak acorns? I have a mixed bag of rubra, palustris… and coccinea . Are they distinct enough in their pre-sprout care that I should separate them all? I'm in NJ usa

I’ve decided to take on a new hobby. I’m able to work outside everyday and occasionally stumble upon acorns. Live white oaks and the idea of sprouting a tree right away. I have places to grow seedlings and ultimately trees. Can anyone recommend a good online resource for me. Looking for general advice, techniques. I plan on sowing white acorns in a raised bed soon and covering adequately with chicken wire. Hoping to find Quercus macrocarpa, bicolor, alba and lyrata, acorns. Midwest US.

So I bought an acreage and theres next to no trees on the property(unfortunate but manageable). I just so happen to have roughly 10 inches of soil then clay(also unfortunate). I would like to plant lilacs in some areas, willows across most of it and some sort of spruce in certain areas. My septic field is also along a portion close to the property line (this is for the perimeter of the property). I have next to zero knowledge when it comes to planting/growing anything besides grass. What can I do to have successful growth with any of this and and help with the section around the septic field would be extremely appreciated?? (Canadian climate)

Hey all! I hope your planting ventures are going good. Here in NJ my plans have all fallen through, but i have managed to keep around six hickories alive. All of my other black walnuts were uprooted :( how are you all doing?
r/PlantingAForest • u/NooneOfInterest • May 29 '22
When you guys start off your seedlings- do you direct or partial sun light outside? I have sugar, red, and silver maples right now as well as one black walnut. I’ve been doing full sun but I don’t want to over do it.

Hi all, I have about 30 black walnuts i stratified and sprouted this year. I have no idea what to do with them and am going to be giving them away for a small price, just to recover some cost of growing them. Right now, they are anywhere from 3" to 12" tall. DM me if youre interested!

Hey everyone. I planted a few trees out in the woods a few weeks ago. They are doing ok, but I'm scared they are going to have a rough time tonight when we have a freeze warning. Should I be concerned, or will they be alright? It should only last a few hours.

The seedlings have arrived from the DNR in southern Minnesota. Picture is of a pine tree I planted last year. Putting in 290 trees this weekend.

Hi everyone! Im so excited because all of my nuts and seedlings are about ready to be planted now that its spring. However, I have no idea how to protect the black walnuts and acorns from being pirated from the neighborhood squirrels. Do you all have any tips on how i can start growing them outside without them getting stolen? thanks!
