[QUOTE="db-2, post: 172436, member: 4743"] I get trees from the Towner Nursery. 75 cents a tree, bare roots. And yes you will need to protect them depending on how many you plants versus how many deer you have. And it is frustrating as they seem to pick on one tree until its half its size but sure is big around. Use woven wire to protect or put steel post around bigger ones. Get small ones due to the expense and deer damage. Bigger tree if not protected will go through hell from the deer. Over the years the regular evergreens will survive better than the pine for me. Bare roots for me do better. But I have found horns that come from were there are pines will be [B]darker [/B]in color at maturity as compare to other trees so I do try to plant about 50 pines every year in my small spots. They just do not do as well as Colorado spruce and other like that. The nursery stated that the ponderosas pine will compete with sod better than other pines so this is what I will plant this year. Try to plant fruit trees each year and some of my apples are producing well. Been doing this since 1995 and it has been a great experience. Never really knew or understood hunting compare to as I do now. Learn a lot and wish you the best. I got some nice horns off small acres and now have friends to talk to at night as they come up and some continue to come up each year. Great to see so many people developing their own spots and planting trees and food plots. You will be well rewarded. If I had to guess maybe have a 1/3 of the trees still growing from what I planted due mainly to deer. db [/QUOTE]
