"Lilah Morgan" wrote in message ... Maples too? I also got a sugar maple this year(we named it Miss Marple, just like we named the dwarf fig we got Puddin'). I hadn't known about dying cloth with walnuts, but I have a recipe to make ink and ground walnut shells are one of the ingredients. And yeah I know it's long term investment, but I'm thinking years down the road. Pretty much all the plants I ordered this year won't start bearing for at least 2 years, 2-5 is the range for all of them 'cept the maple and walnuts. For the sugar maple, after it's filled out enough, could I just take a branch of it and get it to root to have more? There'll be more seed than you know what to do with. In a few years you will have little maples sprouting everywhere. Steve sage ... I'd would forget to have anything grow under the drip line. Similar to the way mother maples discourage kids from being too near. You are talking a long term time investment but growing stuff for the next generation is nobel. The largest we had was about 30 years old that my dad grew from seed. It was maybe 10 feet in diameter drip line when my brother took it down. The wood is valued highly and some folks use the fruit for dying cloth. I like black walnut brittle. Heard some folks run their cars over the seeds to crack them.
