I thought I would start a thread for those who love trees as a place to discuss growing tips and techniques, health, our favorite trees, etc.
I feel as though I am a bit of a tree addict. Right now my window sills are full of seeds and seedlings that I have started. I love to grow trees from seed and for some crazy reason I can't seem to let a seed go in the trash. Here is a list of the tree projects I have going right now.
Seedlings:
1 Red Oak (about a year old)
6 Cottonwoods (6 months old)
4 Plums (just sprouted)
Waiting for germination:
1 Cherry,
4 Mulberries
Stratifying:
7 Honey Crisp apple seeds
I know my plums and the apple seeds are very unlikely to produce good fruit, if any fruit at all, because they came from store-bought produce. But if they produce some oxygen and a little shade I will call it a win.
So what is everyone else growing?
