i'm beginning to make plans for planting trees on my land this spring. any info would be appreciated.

i'd like to order a 100 2yr old sawtooth gobbler oaks. what nurseries have ya'll purchased sawtooth oaks from?
i'm planning to protect them from the deer by staking a 4' tall X 18" dia. wire "shield" using 4" chicken wire. any other ideas?
also i have an area close to my pond that i'd like someday be able to flood for waterfowl. when is it "safe" to flood sawtooth oaks (i.e. how many years for a tree to establish itself so that it could survive 60 days of standing water)?

also, i'd like to plant 10-12 apple trees in my food plots. i'll probably get the largest size apple trees that wally world sells and protect them from the critters by driving 3 metal fence posts in the ground and wrap chicken wire to create a 4' diameter circle around the trees. aside from gratuitious watering, any other ways i can improve my success rate?

what other trees should i be considering?

thanks
