[QUOTE="db-2, post: 181442, member: 4743"] Yes the tree needs to fit the area. But those old shelterbelts from the 30s had cottonwood down the middle and I have planted them for their size. Should be able to get high enough in time with the stand to see the whole country. Maybe to high for the bow. It all takes time but would like to see evergreens. Cedars fine but bigger ones. Pine trees will help make the horns darker but for me harder to get to grow. Caracana (sp) is nice and thick with a soft bark that deer like to rub on and they can spread out nicely. tuff tree that grows well. Besides the berries I would try some fruit trees like the trees with small apples. Green ash seems to do well. More for what a shelterbelt is than the deer but you need to have trees not only for food but cover for the deer and shelter for them so I feel you need some height down the middle. Black walnut is slow and I am told will not survive but I did get black walnut from the FSA office who said they will do just find. Maybe more for looks and not deer. Deer love acorns. For me, oak trees seem somewhat hard to get going. My Ohio buckeye seems to grow well, they say fruit is poison but they also say deer will eat the nut just fine. But whatever this is great to see, I commend you and wish you the best and in time you will be well rewarded. db [/QUOTE]
