Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.
Some people will buy products they do not understand and not buy books that
will give them understanding.

I have several Catalpa tree babies that are healthy and thriving. Not my
favorite tree, wouldn't you know. I plan to put them in gallon size
planting cans (gardening cans) when they are a bit taller.

The Willows are doing very well too, each is about 2 feet tall now. I
have moved them to larger pots and will keep them there until they are
larger. Altogether I have about 6 now.

My Chinaberry seeds have not yet germinated, nor have the Burr Oak and
Live Oak. So I don't know what to do with them. Any hints? I had placed
them in good potting soil and I am keeping them moist. The Chinaberrys
are outside on the patio in pots, the Oaks are in the sun room near the
window. Any ideas?

We love trees and want to have many in our bare acre in the back.
