Just received 50 dolgo seedlings from them and I am very impressed. I ordered 12-18" trees and got ones that are in the 24-36" range. Very good caliber and packaged better than any trees I have got from anywhere else. Pretty impressive for a small order.

Are you getting them in the ground right away and caging them. Is that nursery out of Wisconsin?

If not I will plant and tube next weekend. Hopefully the deer don't find them. I also have a couple hundred shrubs to plant. I am turning an acre into a Dolgo thicket with dogwood and ninebark. |

Those are great looking roots on those trees. What are thoughts on if you buried those deeper than a normal grafted tree? Would they produce a better tree in the long run like planting tomatoes deeper?

Would they produce a better tree in the long run like planting tomatoes deeper? I am not sure. Probably a moot point. I will be planting with a bar and with my rocks deeper isn't an option. |

wow those are nice! You gonna graft to any of them down the line? Gonna look them up an see what all they have to offer! Leaving my options open. I won't graft to these trees but will graft the winners out of this batch. Not sure how much variation there will be in 50 trees but I am hoping there are 4-5 gems in there. I have 50 B.118 and M.111 rootstocks planted in their final spot that I plan on grafting to at some point. First I have to practice grafting and figure out a way to have grafts survive the snow pack. I had a hand full of 3-4 year old trees snap off at the 4' mark this winter. I usually loose one or two a year. I don't see how a graft will make it unless I can graft above 5'. |
