[QUOTE="Tn_Va_Hunter, post: 5360022, member: 5740"] I started buying some from Walmart/rural king about 4 years ago. Just to get a jump start on some mature ones to be able to grow my own. I had member send me 25 nuts 3 years ago. I stratified them in the fridge. Then planted them in the mulch around our house for the first summer and in the fall transplanted them to the farm. I had about a 75% success rate. I enjoy growing my own but now if one dies I replace it with a store bought one to hopefully keep up and match the rest. I think I’m up to 38 dunstan amd 22 sawtooth oaks, 22 apple trees (wide variety late dropping) 4 crabapple and 2 peach trees. My son and I do it together as he enjoys watching “his” trees grow yearly. I need to find About 20 more sawtooth oaks somewhere soon. Good luck. It’s hard to not keep planting lol. Probably my favorite hobby besides hunting. [/QUOTE]
