I will second "Fall".

Recontour your lawn. Prune out roots above the graft and lay mulch out six inches away from the trunk. Roots growing below the union will be from rootstock. For what it worth, a tree on its own roots, may have the potential to grow large(r). But the human with the saw & nipper has the final say.

How well the inner bark lines up in the union, will dictate the grafts success.

Pawpaw sets seed and grows from seed well enough. Roots are soft and fragile, so it will transplant from pots better than from field. Like many woody plants seed needs cold stratification.

I have tried a couple of searches. My result has been all outside the USA. I need an American nursery.

In bundles of 50 or 100 that I will not need to mortgage the farm for.

Don't stint the water the year you transplant.

If you prune up black walnut into single upright trunks they do command a good price as veneer logs. But as you say there is quite a gap in generations.

Um, you are putting out on the counter or some such daily? I found that way to accident prone (as in the S/O would clean them into trash).

Has anybody seen seeds for this bush offered for sale?

John, inasmuch as cold stratification is a cycle of tmperatures. Using your refrigerator may not be your best bet. Set up pot or cells with seeds and put the whole mess outdoors with a plank over the top for protection.

I have a couple food island and reforestry projects in the works. So for this fall I have in pots, out of doors waiting for spring with: rosa rugosa, chinkapin, chestnut, hazelnut, cling peach, red baron peach, angelcot, witch hazel, antonovka and other generic apple seed. Some will, an' some...

Jump; part of what works in 'cold stratification' is greater than just what comes from inside a fridge. Cold stratification outdoors has cool temperatures that change around, and sun warmed soil in days and colder soil at night. Those cycles are harder (for me at least) to create indoors. I...

There are truck mounted* spades, that if you can afford to rent one, will successfully collect a pretty big tree. But make sure your nitroglycerine is close to hand when you order a rental. *Think rail-gun.

It should work John. Keep posting about how sales is going.

"Big" is a relative term. It don't take that much size to become the sport of kings...

OIKOS tree crops Kalamazoo MI, St Lawrence Nursery NY are two worth your look-see.

You are growing northern deciduous trees. Berm around the feet with leaves outdoors and let them snooze.

Some flavor of hickory. I'll go with heart-nut.

Marshy, the more I grew seedling trees like they was bonsai (in very fast draining soil), and left them out in the cold for a winters slumber the better they did. Wide pot, like a daffodil paper-white pan. Soil that is 1/2 and 1/2 bark mulch and chicken grit. Seed planted shallowly, a plank to...
