Here is a broadcast I did late last year (June 15ish) and it turned out pretty well. I just tilled, broadcasted and drove over with my truck. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1274817483284551/permalink/1911561666276793/

I ran Danner pronghorns when I first started out west, which were ok, then I went to a fancy 450 boot (Zamberlan maybe) that made my feet kill and were heavy. I have finally settled on Hoka hiking boots, and they are the cat's ass for my purposes in the elk mountains. Light, good cushioning...

I thought of that. I have a stand that I burned, and after I did that, it got so thick it's almost impenetrable. I think just letting go should fit the bill. We will see I guess.

Here is some pics of our diversity pocket planting day. Had a great crew, a dingo and really nice trees from the nursery. Knocked out 350 trees in about 3 hours. Just need to protect them now. The pic of the bar is from the nursery! WI knows how to keep workers happy! Diversity pocket planting...

Also sent an email. Would love to come back to IA in 3 or 4 years not 12!

Sorry to hear this. I cant imagine losing all the work (labor/time) we have put into my property. Replacing 5 and 10+ year trees with saplings would not be cool. This is why I was happy to pay the local fire department a few hundred bucks to come out and do my controlled switch burn. 99%...

Yesterday.

Here is one I did with just heavy base. I prefer it to the other here i did with barwire and a post. The later wants to fall over all the time and isn't as sturdy.

Slowly getting my improvements in place. When I bought this chunk in 2020 it was a long standing (50 years +) of cow pasture and limited cover. I frost seeded the existing bean stubble red irregular shaped area (west side of trout stream) in RC Tecumseh (about 5 acres) last week and the plan...

Ive used the nurtipods on all my trees. Haven't had any issues....assume they are working as they should.

I have a tree under my deck that I've been using in town as my source. Maybe the source can be the issue? I also have about 100 planted on my property Silky and Red Osier that I bought planted and tubed as bare root that all did awesome. Might try cuttings from those as they are big enough...

I've had minimal luck in SE MN as well. Both Hybrid Willows and Dogwood haven't faired well. Less than 5% success. However, it is free to try, I guess. Only lost time.

I'd say it depends where you are located, but I would test the waters with a small volume regardless of what you buy to see if they will work. You didn't mention pears, but I have had amazing luck with Kieffer pears. Very hardy and growing rapidly for me

Honestly, wasnt aware of this company. However, now that I look, they dont carry Tecumseh, which is my preferred variety.
