  I know this was 3 years ago, but don’t confine yourself or even smell test ozone. It is absolutely terrible for any living organism. It can even kill you in high enough doses and that nausea and headache the one commenter described is cause by cell damage to your body. Look up ozone, don’t put this in your blind with you. Terrible plan.

  I would probably pull off the female flowers or the burs when they form. When trees are still pretty young I try to pick off any nut/fruit starting to from so that the tree just focuses water and nutrients on increasing growth instead of production. This may not be the right thing to do or a good thing to do but to me it makes sense and it has never caused me any problems.

  Cool video! Thanks for sharing. Something I have been told that is great for getting trees to increase flower/catkin production is adding Boron to the soil. Your soil may could use it and it may not need it. Just wanted to share as it seems boron greatly increases flower production. ( I have seen it used for chestnuts and oaks I am not sure about fruit trees but I assume it would work as well). Look into this if you ever get some time, you may want to try it. Love the videos, keep it up!!

  My chestnuts are dead or dying from all this rain. They turned brown and all the leaves fell off. Last year was the complete opposite with no rain. Storm came through last week and broke off a very big apple tree 3’ off the ground, broke my 9’ pawpaw at the ground line, broke my Fuju persimmon in half and 3 old peach trees. Broke a lot of limbs in my pecans and blew a huge willow tree over on my neighbors property. The ground was solid white with hail. That destroyed my garden and 16 varieties of figs with their big leaves. I’d rather have this flooding than no rain if I had to choose between the 2. My well water looks like tea. Does that every time we get floods. I drink it and survive.

  These are special containers designed for growing trees that have a hole in the bottom so when the taproot gets to the bottom it tries to go out and is air pruned. Doesn’t hurt the tree.

  @@MattPatterson1411 it's absolutely true. There are plenty of videos that prove the same. Your understanding seems a bit off when it comes to efficiency rating.

They both have shown over 100 watts output (around 106 watts each).

  I have a pawpaw loaded with blooms and most of my other pawpaws mostly died from last summer. They were 8’ tall and died to the ground. I watered them every week. They’re in my yard which is terrible soil for pawpaw. Sand and rock. I wanted them close so I could water them easier. I wish I had another one to hand pollinate them. I have now lost 2 pecan trees from last summer. One I planted in the 1980s and the other in the early 90s. That oldest tree blocked the sun off my home. Out of around 100 pecan trees, that’s the one I needed the most. Do you know what your soils PH usually averages? Chestnuts like acidic soil. Mine runs around 5.7 which is unusual for this county. That’s why I planted chestnuts here. I’d try blueberries if they didn’t require so much watering.

I’ve got a bunch of other flowering tree seeds 3 months stratifying. I’ll pot them up this week. I’ve got a bunch of extra Tupelo to sell. I’d have planted those other species this winter also if I’d have found the seeds earlier. I wanted to beat the summer heat and drought. I lost a big Oconee pecan to that horrible summer. I have too many trees to water. What can’t survive will be replaced with more drought resistant species. I planted the Tupelo around my pond. If these Texas summers keep getting worse I’ll be planting cactus I guess. I sold some trees today to a lady who recently moved here from Africa. She said Texas was hotter than Africa. I’d have never thought that.
