Early Riser; actually I get the itch. After spending all winter looking at the snow there's so much energy built up that I go on a spring tree planting binge to release it every year.
Ya; it feels good to watch the trees grow and see what you can accomplish with a small input and a lot of time. The more you plant and see develop the more incentive it gives to plant more. It's been an evolution to see what I could grow and what likes the conditions that I can give them. My new project is acclimatizing stock to a zone 5b at my hunting property up north. Actually the trees self acclimatize. If they aren't hardy, they don't grow. The few that make it become seed stock.
A local nursery supplied me with a large amount of my initial stock. Check out the website, you'll be interested to see what we can grow in the great white north.
