When is a good time of year to plant sawtooth oaks and chestnut trees?

I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

I think you're technically supposed to plant them when they're dormant.....especially when transplanting bare root seedlings....approx November through early March.....

Bare root trees may hard to keep alive planning this late. Any container grown tree should make it . Keep em watered.

I planted 6 Chestnut trees in December while the sap was down. They are looking great now and all have buds. What kind of Chestnuts did you buy?

If we hit a dry spell in May or June you best have your irrigation system ready. 5 gallon buckets with small holes punched in them and a UTV or tractor with a water tank may be your only chance to save them if it turns dry.

How long does it take bare root trees to start showing new growth? I planted 20+ trees at my place in Al and one here at the house the last weekend of February. The one here looks just like I'd did when I planted it. Haven't been back to check on the ones up there yet.

Planted 250 4ft talk ones 6 years ago. Just now starting to drop. Dang tree protectors cost more than the trees but if they weren't installed bucks would have killed a bunch of them. Half sawtooth and half gobbler sawtooth. Make your own stakes.

I made stakes and cages from some old fence I had, but how long before I know if they made it?

Ive noticed some of the bare root trees are slower to take off than the potted ones Ive planted. Some as long as a month or longer before showing any buds or leaves.

I planted bare root pears and crabappless that started to show growth about two weeks after planting this year. If you don't see any fresh growth after 3 weeks I would be seriously worried. Those trees should have been nearly budded out when you planted.

No use in worrying, it is what it is. If the one at the house that I water every couple days didnt take, then I wander what the ones I planted and left in Al look like? Dont think I'll do bare root again. The ones in dirt I bought from Mossy Oak showed growth in less than a week and were just a little more. The only reason I went with these is MO was sold out of Sawtooths when I decided to order. I will try again next year and plan better.
