WANTED: pine nut trees, have deciduous trees
Comments (0)I would like some nut-forming pines, such as pinyons (pinus monophylla especially), Siberian pines, Korean pines, or any other known commercial nut-producing pine. We have many seedlings coming up in our woods that I am willing to mark for when they go dormant, such as tulip poplars, buckeyes, sugar maples, box elder, and possibly others....See MoreNut trees other than mac nuts
Comments (21)Aloha Sandpounder, Lisa, Ilima and Farmfreedom, It is beginning to sound like pistachios might be the next nut tree I'll try in the back yard. The health food store sells them "raw" so I'll get a few and plant them and see if they sprout. Hmm, anybody know if they are a hybrid and if they self-pollinate? Thanks for the peanut idea, Ilima. When I finally get the official garden (it still needs a fence to keep out chickens and a hose bibb installed for watering) put together, then I will have a space for peanuts. Until then, maybe they could grow in the flower bed by the house? Do they take up a lot of room? Farmfreedom, those are some good ideas, however not all of them would work in Hawaii. We have difficulties getting things such as chestnuts, walnuts and filberts cold enough in the winter. Actually, there are a LOT of mainland plants and trees we don't have enough "chill hours" for. We can't get them cold enough for them to flower and set fruit. Most apples, peaches, pears and cherries can't be grown here. There are about three varieties of apple and peaches which can be grown, but we have to be really selective and get a "low chill" cultivar or they don't get enough chill hours. Peonies and lilacs are two more which don't survive, although I've ordered a "low chill" lilac which I hope will live and produce flowers. The Big Island of Hawaii has most of the climates available on the planet, but they are only in small spots on the island and no one spot has all the climates. I'm down near the ocean in an area with dirt and rain so it is a better growing area than most. However, I don't have the winter time cold and we do have some ferocious snails, insects, fungus and molds to deal with as well as the occasional nematode and those pesky chickens, too. A hui hou, Cathy...See MorePurchasing a Pecan Nut Tree
Comments (5)Pecans are one of our top cash crops here in New Mexico, perhaps I can help with this question. You don't mention your growing zone but since you appear to be on the coast and palm trees are happy in your area, I'm going to guess that you're at least in zone 10 (USDA). Pecan trees are happiest in zones 6-9 but can be grown in other areas as long as the summers are hot and there is plenty of moisture. Pecans are originally from the SE part of the US which has hot humid summers and high rainfall. They also require enough cold in the winter to go fully dormant. You probably can grow pecans in your area but be prepared to water them heavily during the growing season, they are very thirsty plants. Instead of purchasing a tree you could buy nuts of the variety you want and go about it that way. The seeds usually are very willing to sprout but may not have the characteristics you're looking for. Of course a rooted cutting will definitely give you the plant you prefer. Which variety of pecan do you want?...See MoreIs this a Pecan tree in great age Dax and other nut tree guys?
Comments (6)There wasn't much left to the tree, but the trunk was impressive so I knew it was a species that was once an impressive tree. So Elm fits that scenario, as far as I can guess, you know once a whole tree of large size now much of the wide crown gone. Unless disease usually strikes the trunk? I dunno.......See MoreOld_Hazza
