I’ve got an NRT AAS in forestry that included silviculture, but the best training I got was planting trees professionally for the cities of portland and salem. 

I’ve been raising American chestnut seedlings for a while and planting them around oregon.  I just up potted around 25 second year trees, pretty excited about this project.  I found the trees on an old homestead in Oregon, and another forester I know had them genetically tested.  They’re 100% american, a miracle.

Anyway, been collecting and cold stratifying the nuts, getting a relatively high sprouting rate so far.

yeah piggy it felt weird telling you to read up, don't take it like I think you don't know your shit.  but I still love that book, I found it in a library, and you would probably still learn more about silvopasture, on top of the silvoculture.  seemed like you were asking recommendations on what to plant, and instead of saying a lot of what i learned in that book, I'd give it to you if i could

I have a spot i've been saving for a chestnut...  those sound amazing

No worries bud, didn’t take it that way at all.  For instance, my focus was in northern oregon and I had no idea we had a native walnut!

Guess what I’m reading about now?

I like grafting, but i'm still learning and only do dormant season grafting.  Definitely want to learn more.

i gotta pay taxes guys one sec:

i confess.  i fucked up my own giveaway again and counted
the wedges wrong.  one of them was an empty baggy somehow i labeled with no wedge.  so now i gotta cut ONE MORE wedge for a dude.

i also confess, i dont think i can keep it up anymore. ive sent wedges literally all over the world.  every 50 states that im aware and i think most of the candian provinces. 

austria
belgium
czech republic
denmark
estonia (as of this week)
finland
france
germany
ireland
malta
netherlands
norway
poland
spain
sweden
switzerland
england
scotland
and russia twice.
australia
new zealand
columbia


never had one loss.  i feel happy about this, but also tired.  i find myself getting annoyed with people for not following instructions and making the process difficult and making track them down to get their address etc.  i love doing it and i love sharing my art and stuff with the world, i just dont know if i have the energy to keep doing it.  i think i might do ONE MORE wave.  semperviva this time...

i confess, i think i have to end the endless giveaway.  its sad for me but i think its over.  im starting to make mistakes and duc doesnt want to hear me complain about it anymore.  my only hope is that people pay it forward.

awesome.  well cool.  maybe i can teach you guys something then.  my family developed some grafting techniques that i am proud to say have become industry standards. Ive trained many people.  weve had people fly out just to learn.  mostly regarding specimen trees, but its probably still applicable for almost anything.  not sure what the application would really be for you guys but if youre into fruit trees... 

can yall grow fruit trees up there?

That's cool, I still want to learn more about grafting...  haven't tried grafting walnuts yet.  Yes fruit grows great here, famous for monocropped pear orchards, but Asian Pears are the best, I want more and more.

Confession: I've been an arborist for seven years and apart from two apple trees I've only grafted cacti. Lol

I didn't even like the look of lophs on Pereskiopsis, it was just that I had to acquire the skill.

Edit: another confession,this is the entire first flush off a F velutipes log. Like, everything.

Hey you guys do whatever you want with those sheep, I'm not one to judge.  Had a buddy from Wyoming who's favorite saying was, "Sometimes you gotta push em through the fence".  He did like wearing hip boots too...

Filtering and adding honey to this today.  Went a little longer on the steep, I had to add more vinegar to keep everything covered.  It's got a little heat to it.

Wait, are there blight-resistant American Chestnuts now? I've been out of the loop for a while. I worked on deer control stuff for a patch of experimental chestnuts decades ago, but if I remember correctly, they were grafted onto a resistant rootstock.

I got no space that's suitable for farming, the little bit of yard I do have is over-run by the urban wildlife masses. Even stuff I plant just for them gets demolished. No seed left for re-seeding amd all that. So I don't know if there's much point in fucking around with fruit trees, other than finding out how much foxes like pears or some shit like that. But I planted an American plum in our side yard years ago, then we had a big cicada event and I covered it with netting because it was still small and a relatively new planting at the time. But the netting fucked up the apical meristem, and the spot where it's planted is a difficult location. Exposed and dry with crappy soil. Actually, a guy who lived in the neighborhood when our house was built in the 50's told us exactly what's under that hillside in our side yard: all the random rubble from construction of our row of houses, bulldozed into a hill-shape. I guess he was a kid when he saw it go down, so it made quite an impression. ANYway. Between the damaged apical meristem and the crappy soil, this tree just went full-on into thicket mode. Hasn't really gotten any taller in the past 5 years, and even its side branches aren't all that impressive. But it's pumped out a TON of runners, amd has a little army of new shoots around it. Two or three shot up and are twice as tall as the original planting now. Many more are on their way up.

So then I did some research, and it turns out that American plum works great as a native rootstock for a variety of different cultivated species. I may try my hand at some grafting one day, just because I have SO many shoots in the yard to practice on.

Not 100% sure I want to, though. Every time I add something else for the wildlife to demolish, it just ends up encouraging them. I planted a little witch hazel bush/tree/whatever a few years ago. Never got any bigger. It seemed healthy enough, not diseased, well-rooted. Just never got any bigger. So I did some research and read a monograph that I found. First of all, I didn't realize that it actually sends shoots out from the base of the trunk, ultimately growing in kind of a menorah-shaped pattern, so that's why the top never looked any different. Then I went on to read that, interestingly enough, the shoots appear in late winter/early spring, and the fresh new shoots are what people collect to make medicinal preparations, and the fresh new shoots are also a delicacy FOR FUCKING DEER. And I realized that, despite a whole fucking herd living in the ravine near our house, I had never seen any deer shit or other evidence of their presence in our yard- until I planted that witch hazel. Then they were like "Fence? What fence? There's new witch hazel shoots over there, bro!"
