Wonderful presentation and an extremely admirable cause that will make history
I'm glad to hear the Sunflower variety is somewhat self-fertile.
If i had one wish, it would be to bring back american chestnuts to the appalachians.
Good stuff
Bought some seedlings.I would like to do some to graft in next spring. Can i graft tow verities in to one plant so I have one tree with 2verties in one tree! Thanks!
The best American chestnut presentation that i have seen to date....keep up the good work....Thanks
Excellent reporting on a very important subject. Thank you!!
KSU shipped me seeds five tears ago. I have fruit on the first tree this year from hand pollinating with wild wild tree flowers growing nearby. One bunch of six fruit too Had twenty-eight flowers to begin with, and now have 25 fruit. Tree is just under six feet tall.Thank you!
Promo sm 🏃
Pale purple coneflower blooms about a month earlier than purple coneflower, which extends the bloom season for cornflower by about a month.
Enjoyed this presentation on trees. I’m North of Cincy on 2 acres. Have been planting for 2 years. Several Magnolias (Butterfly, Sweetbay, Jane) also Dogwoods, Flowering Cherrys, Redbuds. I’m looking for a large shade tree, no Maples…on septic mound in front. Plus hubs doesn’t like them. Also I’ve put in a few GG Arbs & Hetzi Junipers.
My mom used to talk about how grandpa would go out into the woods and collect roots and shoots, mushrooms, black walnuts to bring back for grandma to prepare for their family of seven. They would each be given a bushel basket to collect and fill with chestnuts that grandma would either roast or dry and grind up into flour. That would have been during the Great Depression in the late 20s or early 30s.
Fantastic presentation. Was a little hard to try to look at Ed swaying back and forth, got a little sea sick :D.
I learned a lot from listening to and reading Doug Tallmay’s book. He speaks about the food web and the importance of native plant species in our own areas. He has a lot on KZread also.
Loved the video, very informative. Thank you. And just to contribute I thought I would share a little tip. I have several eastern white pines and I find that the pine straw works as an excellent and free source of mulch for weed and moisture control, possibly even adding a slight bit of acidity if fresh and turned slightly into the soil right away.
Ambrosia beetle is attacking Asimina triloba
This video is not showing up on searches, even though I have watched dozens of pawpaw videos. Perhaps putting addition names like Asimina triloba, Hoosier Banana, Custard Banana, etc. might get more views!
Thanks for the suggestions. We went in and added some more keywords including your suggestions!
why you don't show the seed of each kind?
Thank you for the question, the seeds are pretty much identical from the various varieties so there wouldn't any noticeable difference.
Do you know what the natives call the paw paw. Nice job
Poor man's banana
@@ALFORDACRESFARM how do natives know what bananas are
@@rvansteensel420 because natives migrated from the tropics as did every human on earth at some point.
@@ALFORDACRESFARM Hate to break it to you but most native Americans came across the Bering strait through Alaska. That's as far from the tropics as you can get.
Lovely video friend thanks for sharing ✅😍
Thank you so very much for the recording. I could not join live due to my poor KY internet 🥰
Thank you Ellen and Boone County Arboretum! I enjoy attending (or watching the recordings if I can't attend). One invasive I didn't hear much about was Russian Autumn Olive! That is spreading quickly and seems to be getting worse!
Thank you, yes it is very bad in some areas and we are constantly seeing its close relative, Autumn olive pop up in our natural areas at the Arboretum. In general, the same methods of control that are used for Amur honeysuckle will work on Autumn and Russian olive.
I've been attacking the garlic mustard plant in my local rivers flood basin for years, wow what a pest, I guess it started as a selfish venture to protect my favorite morchella locations,
It is very difficult to control!
I believe the term he was looking for at 1:03:53 is "lingering ash"?
Yes, there are quite a few around that have not died yet, perhaps due to some level of natural resistance. Only time will tell but they are being studied for potential future work with ash.
Thank you for sharing this. Very well thought through presentation, and answers to many questions.
You are welcome, we are glad you enjoyed it!
I can hardly wait. I have restored two buildings that were built in the early 1900’s entirely constructed with American Chestnut. Timber’s, interior and exterior. Siding and paneling and trim. I would love to be able to plant blight resistant trees in the forest surrounding these buildings. This would be especially important as they are located adjacent to a world class arboretum, the Holden Arboretum.
We are happy that you are so excited, we share in your excitement!
