If anyone is interested Chestnut Hill Farms has shipped chestnut trees to area Walmart....years past they are always gone before I can get any.... Walmart in Dickson had about 25 of the 3gal and 2 of the 7gal yesterday....I picked up three of the 3gal which are around 5' tall with new growth.
So...for the guys who have planted several trees over the years I'd love to hear ideas on watering?....I am absolutely going to cage them! And I'm going to put a weed mat down with mulch...but being 5' tall should I still put a short tube around base to keep rabbits from chewing the bark? And as for watering....these will be planted on property where I do not live....but I do have a 30 and a 50 gallon tank to haul water....so my question is should I try the water bags? Or a 5 gallon bucket with a small hole to drip? All kinds of ideas online but I'd rather hear from you guys who have learned what works and what doesn't.
Any suggestions or ideas are appreciated.
