Default RE: Permanent Plantings 2003

This is the first year Ive had any land to work with, so I' m jumping in with both feet. Ive got 500 each of Red oak, Bur oak, and White oak, 500 green ash, 500 wild plum, 250 Nanking cherry, 500 white pine, and 250 norway spruce. These seedlings are supposed to be here in about 6 weeks, and will be planted with a mechanical tree planter. I am planning to put in about 6-12 apple trees of a couple different varieties for a future food source. Also have 3 acres of Cave-In-Rock switchgrass seed on the way, hopefully will have about 4 more acres to plant next year. Ive pheasant hunted in this stuff before and it can get well over head tall and REALLY thick, great bedding areas when there is hunting pressure on nearby land. I have jumped deer in this type of grass, right under my feet, and watched them run 40 yards and lay back down, ya cant hardly run ' em out of it at times.
