Question for you experts because I'm far from a tree expert. I have 10 acres of field that I told the farmer not to plant because I want to let it grow up and plant food plots and get some trees in the ground. Would it be ok to plant some trees now or should I wait until spring time? I want to plant several oaks that will start producing acorns. I know it will be some years down the road before they start producing so I know it's not a quick process.
Don't plant now, too hot and dry and too many weeds everywhere. I prefer to start planting the youth weekend in January and every weekend through to Turkey season. Fall planting is alright but not all of the nurseries are selling trees at that time, and have to take a day off deer or squirrel hunting. January into March grass is always shortest, don't miss any time actually hunting, not a whole lot else to do other than habitat work. Never had an issue planting any of mine at that time as long as the ground isn't frozen solid or there's not snow on the ground.
