Oaks and Maples come up readily from their seeds but as Roger says, unless protected, deer will take most of them when they become young seedlings.

The NYS Dept. of Env. Conservation planted about an acre of White oaks just across the road from me about 15 yrs ago. They planted seedlings that were about 12" to 15" tall.

They installed plastic tubes about 5" in dia. and 5' tall over each one which they never removed. This keeps the deer from feeding on them. Nearly all of them have survived and they are now 20' to 30' tall. My late F.I.L. dug up maple trees about 3 to 4 ft high back in the mid fifties and planted them along the road. Most have been large enough to tap for the last 4 or 5 years.

If you let nature take it's course, you will get a conglomeration of all sorts of trees. I helped cut hay off this "field" back in the late 50s when I was a teenager. I think the last time it was mowed was in the late 60s. It is under new ownership and is being cleared to become an apple orchard. There were a lot of Ash and Poplar and in one corner there was a whole passel of beautiful straight sugar maples about 4 to 6 inches in dia. I wish I had the equipment to dig them up and move them. There were white pines mixed in with dias. up to 24". The pictures of the tapped Maples was taken in Mar 2017; the others today. It is good to reforest but the fruits of your labor will have to be enjoyed by future generations.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th ... [Read Article]
