I remember these being less expensive...

I put them over the tree when they were planted.  The trees were this big when planted, minus the leaves.

Not my actual trees I haven't planted white oak.

Thanks!! That looks just like what I have in my bark

So it has been 2 years and a month since i got the Chestnut trees in the mail. So far they are growing wonderfully. I originally planted 4 trees. The first year one tree was killed by Japanese Beetles consuming the entire tree. So now I'm down to 3.

The trees are in 60" tubes so from 4" tall to 63" tall in 2 years that's not bad.

The 3rd tree is struggling a bit and is only around 40" tall. I didn't take a picture cause it just looks like a tube. I have a few trees growing from seedlings and sometimes the dominant leader just dies and a new one has to take over. This is what I think happened with the 3rd tree. I have 2 maple seedlings, 2 walnut seedlings, and 2 black cherry seedlings that are all around 60" tall. It's fun to watch them grow during these stages.

Drew what do you call the tubes and where can you get them? I saw Matt Cremona used them on a video as well. I have several small oaks I've tried to transplant but with all the wildlife out here I've had zero success so far. The squirrels bury acorns in my bark around the house all the time so I end up with 10-12" oaks quite often since the oak wilt is killing the old trees I'd like to successfully transplant some of these.

Hey Ronn How was the class? How about some pics 

Store them until they bug me then into the fire pit they go  

I just had this same thing happen with my wife's Jeep. When we were both in the car no problem but just her and it was beeping at her.

FWIW thanks for the post I feel better knowing its not just me

What a great space!!

Birds kept trying to build a nest in the canopy of my tractor. I put a toy snake my kids had in the spot and the birds haven’t been back.

You got me LOL...My first thought was oh no I'd be parking that inside 

Nice!

Uvalde Tx. So sad. Not sure what the answer is but something needs to be done, bilaterally. My worst concern as an elementary student was homework and the principal’s office. 

I agree @Coop never thought I would have anxiety as my wife heads out to teach 5 year old's  

Thanks for sharing @gee-dub

Beautiful job Dave!

Very nice @gee-dub!!

I spent some after work daylight checking fir damage from these:

A brief but intense hail storm swept thru, just minutes before I got home. Ice chunks the size of a quarter, and windy enough to wet my front door with rain from top to bottom, under a 9' porch overhang.

No damage I can spot, thankfully.

We had one come through today...doesn't appear to be any damage but will probably get someone out to check the roof, gutters, etc

Ahh you could take a road trip to your friend with a 12" J/P

Sounds like you got this one handled but if you ever need it don't hesitate to give me a jingle.

Looking at the prices, I want to know exactly what I'm buying before I pay for it

LOL good point!!

I prefer rough not becuase of cost but becuase because it provides the ability to mill to the thickness I want, which a lot of times is not 3/4"
