Hey there, Ryan.

I don't have a mic, sorry.

Work computer...

Awesome! I'll be sure to go and talk to them. And I do have a name...

Worf's bat'leth

lolol

The cuttings will bring you honor.

Bur Oak Canyon - Wonderful place to visit - very cool history and trees.

I should go there sometime while passing through the area...

Do you think Bur Oaks would grow in SW Minn,?

Absolutely

absolutly

Heather, do you practice or have you tried root pruning at the germination stage by pre-germinating seeds/acorns and root pruning the emerged radicles before planting to transition from a tap rooted to a branched root system and increase root branching from the start?

At my Site we have really rocky, sandy soil

What about Walnuts? specifically Butternut Walnuts...

Are there any species that seem to have issues with establishment in the landscape in NE?

These aren't found in Minnesota but just curious if you do anything with or propagate Blackjack oaks?

As far as Sandy, rocky goes... think of a Railroad bed.

Can you talk about your procedure for treating (stratifying) the scorns

I see on your website you grow a variety of trees and shrubs what if any is your interest in growing understory plants for forest restoration?

Did you root prune (tap root) the oaks you propagated in your gravel bed? Bottom line, did you have good success in the gravel bed with oak in general?

Our Site was built on an old railroad bed

I am really asking if you are interested in growing herbs and forbs for restoration.

Is your focus retail or wholesale sales

Do you do any contract growing for municipalities

A comment on oaks in gravel beds. A project At Cloquet Forestry Center showed some benefit for seedling oaks placed in gravel bed, more fibrous root system, better branching. But not like other species like north white cedar.

What are the largest size trees you grow to? 1.5" caliper for instance?

Do you propagate / grow DED resistant elm varieties? Any challenges, insights, etc?

Heather, Have you considered growing gambel oak?

Whats your procedure for germinating the acorns?

How large is your operation? Acreage, est. number of trees, however it's possibly to quantify it.

Where specifically in Nebraska is that natural coffeetree stand you had a picture of? I'm sure they do well in Nebraska's climate.

Really appreciate this webinar very informative thank you

Yeah, that was great, thank you!
