[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 5036463, member: 12277"] I bought all my trees from The Wildlife Group in Alabama in Tuskegee, Alabama. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.wildlifegroup.com/[/URL] I planted one of their Fruit Tree packages and a bunch of various Oaks back in December 2010 and have had real good results from them. Be sure to use tree tubes regardless of where you buy your trees. They promote fast growth and keep bucks from rubbing them. The people at The Wildlife Group will take time to talk to you on the phone to give good growing tips. Also some good stuff on their website to get better results. The trees all started producing about when they said they would BUT you should be realistic about your expectations. When they say an Oak produces acorns in 7 years it don't mean bushels of acorns. One point they make now that has changed since i bought my trees is that they recommend a flexible stake to hold your tree tube when you plant. Reason being that a rigid stake takes all the side load from wind and doesn't force the tree to develop strong roots. I changed out most of my stakes with their flexible fiberglass stakes when the trees were still fairly young and these stakes would easily bend with the wind forcing the tree to resist part of the wind side load. Also the wood stakes rot real fast while the fiberglass can be used again once the 1st tree no longer needs them. Oh yeah, I bought all bare root trees and they are now 12 - 15 - 20 feet tall now 10 years later. The fruit trees started producing fruit about 5 or 6 years ago. [/QUOTE]
