My oldest son has taken a big interest in the tree planting. He is 15 now and has probably planted a few thousand by now. He loves to go back and walk through after good green up has started and see what kind of spring growth the trees are getting.

its amazing how fast they grow, the older you get.. My grandfather used to say, "The older you get, the faster time goes by"... Man, he wasn't joking !

New after pictures. Young sawtooth orchard style planted minimum 25x30 spacing some more. They start behind the first row .first row is crabapple.
60 young sawtooth that will start getting the fertilizer like my other sawtooth orchard gets.
Look at the leaves they are a little pale and will be dark green next spring after fertilizing.

Another picture from the newly cleaned around sawtooth.

[huntall]

This is one from my first sawtooth orchard. It is 31 sawtooth in it. It was planted at the end of January 2011. A little above average of my 4yr old trees
Dark green from fertilizing also.

Checked my trees today and my sawtooth has acorns this yr for first time. Even a three yr old tree has acorns.
I can't believe how well they are doing!
