Stumbled across the county's site where they are offering very affordable tree packages for pickup in April. The cool thing is that they have assembled kits geared towards wildlife, songbirds, hardwoods, etc.

In light of the EAB, it's a good time to create a little bio-diversity. When I see this kind of stuff, I wish I had ten acres instead of one.

Hope this helps someone.
Thanks,

That's pretty cool, I would not mind planting in different locations and watching them grow over the years.

I usually get most of my seedlings from a seedling program here in Ky.. They have a wide variety of mostly native species.
This year, I ordered Wild Flowering Dogwood and Sassafras, but they were out of the Dogwood.
I see that the site you posted has the Dogwoods. They're half the price I pay, so that's great, I may have to grab some.
Thanks.

If you need a Dayton address for their stop, let me know! ;)

Sully, it is pretty fun to watch such slow progress. I went through some digital photos of my ten years here at this address, and although we lost a lot of trees, there is one red oak we planted ten years ago and it is really starting to take off and is beautiful. I planted six during the drought and they all made it so far. I hope I've done the next generation right.
 
Oh, they don't ship them. I didn't notice that part, just looked at the prices. Still a good deal.

Planting and growing trees can be very rewarding, but It didn't take long for me to find out about all the challenges from bacteria, fungus and critters of all sizes.
This year, I had to wrap all of the small trees and seedlings with bird netting to keep the deer from eating them and keep a light on during rutting season to keep the bucks from scraping the pines.
