[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 3326325, member: 12277"] Well, after looking at one of my Bur Oaks yesterday that was planted December 2010, I can see how yours could be that big. I haven't been able to get to mine since March because of standing water. I was shocked how much growth had happened in one Spring/Summer season. The tree is 7 feet tall at least. Unlike your case though, I sure didn't keep competition down this year - obviously, if I didn't go back there until yesterday, huh? :) It is a regular jungle with lots and lots of deer sign. 8 foot tall wild trees - honey locust mainly - blackberries, weeds of all sorts, etc. I had sprayed around all the trees with RoundUp in March so at least the competition was eliminated going into Spring. I don't think it mattered much though with so much rain this year. I fertilized each tree in February also. I was going to bush hog it Saturday but decided to leave it a thicket until after deer season to take advantage of hunting it. The spot is about 8 acres with about 45 trees on it. 16 fruit and the rest various oaks. As soon as deer season ends though it HAS to be bush hogged or I am going to lose it. To clarify, I did keep competition away from the trees the past 2 growing seasons. [/QUOTE]
