Walked a good bit of mine today. Lots of Huge Burr Oak.
Found only one that is producing a good crop.
Last year, this time, bout all oaks had this amount.
Got 4 in today.
Normally I wait till Oct but I was bored this morning.
These are a hybrid popple/ cottonwood. Has a real pleasant odor,it's soft and has a nice white color under the bark.
