As much as I'd like to tube oaks I think the bear would use them as pole vaults. They've done it before with my 10' emt stakes for apples.

I'm working on it Foggy. It's gonna take some time before I can answer that question. I think anything will do better with top soil conditions for that species. "Most able to survive" in a given condition isn't necessarily a condition for that species to thrive, rather it seems like a situation where common foes stand no chance to compete, so things like bur may pop up and live. I'm farting around with calcium/magnesium ratios, sulfur, breathing room, and sunlight to see if I can make mine perform better. I don't even know how I'd quantify it if it did work though. Just as I expected! A chat-room full of guys whom have all the questions.....but few of the answers. Grin. How am I gonna sleep tonight....not knowing this schmidt? You are livin in Jack pine savage country and should be able to get all kinds of answers... some of them might even be correct!

I think the logging will help those oaks produce better now Foggy. I think you'll see improvement next year and more the following years. I think they were crowded and lacked sunlight.

One of this spring projects will be taking out some ash that is shading out some young bur oak. I am surprised how fast a small to medium sized bur oak will grow after the competition near it has been eliminated.

Bur oaks are loaded with acorns in West Central MN, maybe the most I have ever seen.

Foggy,
Post some updates on those oaks? I'm interested in how much new growth they put on with more sunlight.
