Known as America’s favorite pear, the Bartlett variety actually came from Europe. It functions as the standard by which all other pears are measured and is a favorite for fresh eating, canning, and preserves. The Bartlett pear is easy to grow and will reward its owner with beautiful blossoms in the spring, large and luscious fruit in late summer, and a continuous crop for as much as 100 years.

Produces large, yellow fruit with a smooth and juicy white flesh in late August or early September — ideal for eating, canning and preserves
Blooms just before the leaves appear in the spring, with showy white flowers

Sawtooth Oak-4-6 ft

Type: Cerris Oak (not red or white) Zone: 5 - 9 Soil pH: 4.4 - 7.1 Mature Height: 80' Wildlife Value: Large early dropping, abundance of acorns favored by deer and most all other wildlife. Site Preference: Must have plenty of sun and prefers fertile, well-drained soil to thrive and produce heavy mast crops. Nut Maturity Date: September to October Alias: Oriental Oak, Gobbler Oak Sawtooth oak has been an American citizen for quite some time, and proves itself a winner in our book as the first to provide hard mast for all walks of wildlife. Acorns rain down annually, at a critical time when other oaks haven’t even thought of shedding. Sawtooths are so productive that we can fill the back of a pickup with acorns from three trees! Trail camera folks and early season bow hunters should all agree that sawtooth oak is a winner. Plant a few groves near the cabin or close to your property’s perimeter for a low impact, easy access, and early season “sure thing” hunting spot. Acorns drop from mid-September to mid-October and as early as year six from seed on better sites, but we’ve seen them produce younger than that. This particular seedling comes from a ‘gobbler’ selection which we believe produces a heavier crop than the larger seeded strains.

Green Giant Trees

Green Giant arborvitae is a hybrid cross between western redcedar and Japanese arborvitae. It is a large, hardy evergreen with a pyramidal to conical, uniform appearance. The dense, scale-like foliage in flattened sprays on horizon or ascending branches is a lustrous, medium green color that darkens or bronzes only slightly in winter. The leaves have a faint, pleasant fragrance. The young bark is cinnamon-red, turning to gray-brown or red-brown. Mature trees bear persistent, half-inch, oblong cones that emerge green and turn brown. 'Green Giant' tolerates a wide range of soils and temperatures but prefers moist, well-drained soil and sun to partial shade. It has some drought tolerance once established. Wet or poorly drained sites should be avoided. It is very salt-sensitive. Young plants should be protected from wind, but once established, this cultivar is wind-resistant and can withstand heavy snow and ice loads. It shows better resistance to browsing by deer than most arborvitae. Little or no pruning is required, but it shears easily if necessary. It is a fast grower, up to 3' a year under good conditions. Mature height averages 50'-60' with a 12-20' spread.

Hardiness Zones

The green giant arborvitae can be expected to grow in Hardiness Zones 5–7.

Mature Size

The green giant arborvitae grows to a height of 50–60' and a spread of 12–20' at maturity.

Growth Rate

This tree grows at a fast rate, with height increases of more than 24" per year.

Sun Preference

Full sun and partial shade are best for this tree, meaning it prefers a minimum of four hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight each day.

Soil Preference

The green giant arborvitae tolerates a wide range of soil textures. Poorly drained and wet sites should be avoided, and it is very salt-sensitive.

Attributes

This tree:

Will grow up to 3' per year until maturity.
Darkens or bronzes slightly in the winter.
Requires little or no pruning but can be sheared easily if necessary.
Should be planted 5–6' apart for a screen or hedge.
Is a public domain tree, meaning anyone can propagate it from cuttings.
Has no serious disease or pest problems.
Features tiny, scale-like, glossy green leaves that are packed closely together in overlapping rows on divided branchlets, displaying in a flattened, fan-like spray.
Yields 1/2" long oblong cones that emerge green in the summer and turn brown in the winter.
Releases a pleasing aroma when leaves are squeezed.
Tolerates wind once established and withstands heavy ice or snow, making it a good choice for a fast-growing windbreak.
Shows better resistance to browsing by deer than most arborvitae.

Wildlife Value

Arborvitae provides nesting sites and cover for birds and small animals. The flower buds, seeds and foliage are a food source, although this cultivar has greater resistance to deer browsing than most arborvitae.

Fuyu Persimmons

Every knowledgeable deer (and deer hunter) knows the only thing better than having a loaded persimmon dropping her sweet treats is having a GROVE of “simmons” to choose from. Those single trees are great but it seems the deer don’t go too far out of their way for just one tree. If you really want to bring ‘em in close from great distances, establish patches of trees to see some real results. Since persimmons can produce fruit on small stature trees, you may also want to plan ahead by planting a faster growing tree to hang a stand in nearby.
