First Generation Cherrybark Oak Orchard

Philip Wilson comments on:

Orchard Tree Production: "Acorns per tree really varies. It looks like this year that the oaks may max out at 10 pounds max and there will be none on 15 year old trees. We have a pest problem with acorn weevils while in the tree and after the nuts are on the tarp. Crows and rats treat them as buffet style dining..."

Who Uses Seedlings: "Most of our hardwood seedlings wind up on wetland mitigation projects in the Mississippi River delta. We sold quite a few to Ducks Unlimited and the Corps of Engineers."
