Hello Treegrower. What about trees do you want to talk about?

well, just wantin to talk trees with any other nursery growers. i grow nursery stock here in tennessee.i always like checkin out other nursery websites and like talkin trees. you grow nursery stock?

No not any more. I have in the past. I like to call myself retired now. I had thought you had some specific questions. If I don't know answers, I have loads of books on the subject to research. Although I let my fingers do most research these days.

did you own a nursery or just done it for a hobby?or work at a garden center or something?

My husband taught agriculture in city schools. The last half of his career he called 'posy production'. But he loved growing trees from seeds most. I was a volunteer in the classes. We had 3 large greenhouses to propagate and an acre-plus to field grow. And I just like trees.

oh,i see.i use to have a greenhouse and root cuttings. but started growing field liners. would still like to get another greenhouse and start vegetable plants to sell in spring.

And what we grew was not for profit. The students and their families had first pick of what was grown, then the staff and after that some community beautification efforts for parkways and such. It all worked out and we all learned a lot and it was fun. But retirement suits us now.

Not to butt in but I love growing tree from seed. Just for the fun of it then I give them away. Did some from cuttings as well so cool.

If I could have my own nursery,I would sell a wider variety of vegetable plants than most nursuries.

Right on and a lot more of a range of flowers, Not just the same lod things every year. Trees and shrubs as well. There are so many cool plants out there people should try them.
