I didn’t know you sell plants? Good to know if you do, I might get some from you in the future. I grafted a few persimmons this year but all fail I think my rootstock had some to do with the failure.
Well all the ones you photographed looks great and your yard as well. I knew it’s got to be more than what you show us. Lol
Cat’s are not like dogs. I’ve always been a dog person but I do love my cat and it’s she and me now.
I’ll have to go get some fresh pictures but I’ve planted out: (3) Hark, (1) Mullahy, (1) Kanza, (1) Guston - a seedling of Major; ahhh, that about is the pecans. I’ve staked places where scionwood pecan trees will be planted. Got a couple hicans; 8 or so hickories, I think. My photos are outdated so I’ll get back on that.
You know I like cats but I don’t understand why mine runs to the screen door and then I open it and it sits down instead of going outside. Things like that, lol. I always knows what dogs are thinking.
Well, good luck with your pecans. How long does it take a typical persimmon tree to start fruiting?
Ours (about 1 1/2 years old) are outside cats, but we let them in once in a while. A lot of times, while they’re out on the deck, they will lay right up next to the door, and won’t move when you want to open it. So, they just lay there and get pushed out of the way by the door, still laying down. Talk about lazy. Or onery.
Then they get up and follow you wherever you walk and always seem to cross in front of you and try to get on your opposite foot from where you’re walking. Guess it’s in cat’s DNA to try to trip you.
you must have really good soil. weeds like that around small trees here would stunt them permanently . i have to mulch or spend all summer plucking weeds.
@moose71 Hey Moose, I’m not doing myself any favors not controlling the weeds but there are spots on my property where the soil is solid, dense, clay. Those apples on a hill are examples. They’ll need to get moved, obviously. Those are probably 6-years old.
Probably 90% of this place has good, water retentive, clay loam.
@ltilton Hi Lois, she’s as lazy (but getting older) as Bob’s cats above. She loves to sit on my deck at floor level and watch the birds at the feeder. I taught her to stop eating birds and chasing rabbits and everything, really. I told her it would be better to be friends than have them as food. I always said, your buddies “out there” will tell you when there’s an owl or hawk around. And since… as another side note, I’ve had wild rabbits and Squeaky sitting as close as 25’ I suppose from another. “Squeaky” is her name all sprawled out on the ground looking like she could pass out at any second. I one of those talking to birds nutty folks. I have friends at the feeder that allow me to get close, etc. etc. Have a good day. @SMC_zone6
