Gives the ability to put multiple trees on the same rootstock to get a neat hybrid from possible cross pollination between the grafts. I have the bicolor rootstock in my yard with 7 limbs of different Concordia and Deam’s oak grafts. I use the whip/tongue graft predominantly to put one oak on...

Incredible bird. Looks like a buzzard.

What I believe to be a Deamii cross is grafted to the bicolor rootstock below the concordia grafts...right next to the vigorous alba....in my back yard. Surely will be a few fun crosses emerge from this placement.

Concordia acorns (marked in yellow) are starting to pop that were collected last fall. These are from a yard tree next to an alba so it could produce an interesting cross. The concordia in the yard is 4-5 different grafts of Concordia's from my farm attached to swamp white oak rootstock...

Locust tree isn't good for much else....when in Rome?

Grew some wild plums at the house from the MDC nursery that aren’t sweet. Decided to try some sweet cherry varieties to the rootstock and see how they do. So far so good. The grafts try to outrun the sustenance the rootstock is providing, so I trim them some to keep them in balance. Tags are...

The wild plums (in patches) will make a great loafing area for quail/rabbits. Look to have a few of those in areas every 60 acres or so where they can soak up the winter sun also. Quail spent a lot of time under plum patches after feeding in a telemetry study I did at the Atlanta...

They still producing acorns? I'd study the trees over the next 3-4 years and see if some are consistently better acorn producers. Cut out some of the others for firewood, smoking, etc and let natural regeneration (or you plant some acorns with protection) to produce the next white oaks that...
