[QUOTE="DoubleRidge, post: 5375669, member: 20594"] I'm no expert but there are those on here that certainly are.....but my understanding is fall is the best time to transplant trees....then spring would be the second best.... currently it's just too hot and dry....last spring I planted my Chestnut trees and during the first summer I watered them every week...or every other week helping them to get established....this year they are doing fine on their own.....I have several sawtooth oak in buckets I've got to get transplanted but I'm going to wait until closer to fall....at the house I can keep them watered easier during this hot dry spell....the property where I want to plant them is 15 minutes away so I have to haul water.....and good call on letting the 10 acre field go for wildlife!...food plot a portion...plant trees in a portion....then let a portion grow up into native vegetation....the deer and other wildlife will love it!! Good luck on your project!! And if your set on oaks (and you want to see acorn production in your lifetime) consider the sawtooth. [/QUOTE]
