I found two more butternut on raised ground in a strip of ground fed by springs and one more red oak. I looked at my older ones from 5 years ago and they are growing well. I soon have to brush around them so they can get a bit more light. Right now I just break off branches near by so the trees are not over topped.

The thinnings (pre-commercial) are growing quite well, the fir is almost stud wood sized in places and there are some 6 inch spruce on the but end, only 13 years old. I'm pleased with the hardwoods to, starting to self prune. My plantations are mixed with maple, ash and aspen, w. pine, larch (wet places) some nice white cedar also.

Scared off a moose Sunday as well. They sure hate white pine.

Your success ratio is better than mine, BP! 8) I hope that one that's still doing well will pull through!

I put mine back into the refrigerator last night.  I'll hope for double dormancy and try them again next spring.  During the worst of winter I may put them in an outside container to get some occasional sub-freezing temperatures.

I had zero germination.

I'm going to go out over the hill on dad's old farm after a good hard frost and pick a pale of butternuts if the squirrels aren't too busy before then. Maybe there aren't any nuts. My tree has about 6 and I think the squirrel has cut them off.  ::)

Good luck to everyone this coming growing season.

This year's harvest off some wild trees on dad's farm he sold. There was a small grove in the middle of the butternut stand that had straight stems with clean boles. Looked like some nice future saw material, all limbed up good. Maybe 12 in the tight group. Got most these nuts from a 20"er.
