Hybrid Willow in a Dry Climate: How Fast Do They Grow??
Переглядів 2,1 тис.Рік тому
When I sell hybrid willow in my nursery, I always get lots of questions about them. In this video, I illustrate how the growth rate of hybrid willow is intimately tied to the amount of water they receive. I also show just how little growth you get if you don't water that much. I also illustrate that the amount of growth you get also depends on watering the entire root zone.

do you finally get use to the frog noises... cause i feel like that would drive me nuts when trynna make vidjas
i recommend you to make the wheel's gear ratio bigger, it will help a lot on torque and more energetic efficiency.
Too much effort😂
First to post.
Amazing video! I did this with paulownia tomentosa recently from two pods which would be probably about 2000 seeds and in about a week to 10 days every single one sprouted! Got a seedling that is growing well right now and even though it is October they grow well in the winter. Thank the Lord Jesus for plants they are so fascinating.
This is so awesome to hear, thanks for sharing! How are they doing so far?
@@BriansPermacultureProject they are doing great! It has for leaves turning into six and it is starting to grow faster
Meant to say four
Make sure your steel pieces are clean and dry before you preheat them to 200° F minimum. Your welds will be beautiful. 😊
Why is this not working for me? put it out for the first time for a full day and got nothing… put plenty of food but they didn’t even touched it. even though I put it in a place where I get the most activity
You might try placing bait in the area first, and then put the trap over it after several days. I use chicken feed. For me the trap works well because I'm trapping ground squirrels, and they're used to climbing in tight spaces. Tree squirrels are more skittish about confined spaces.
Where did you get this Scion wood?
Hi there, I bought some from Eliza Greenman (Hog Tree), and from Perfect Circle Farm (perfectcircle.farm). Fruitwood Nursery in California also has them from time to time, but they sell out lightning quick. You can sign up for a restock notification from them.
@@BriansPermacultureProject thanks for the quick response! Hope yours are doing well!
you should have done rain water harvesting earthworks, on contour lines for your trees
Where did you take the seeds? Right now I have the big fruit of Osage Orange tree, and can I cut it into 2 and take seeds of that, and will be able to plant it too? Will it work?
Hi there, Osage orange doesn't grow naturally in my area, so I had to purchase seeds. Harvesting them from the fruits, though, should work just fine.
You are suppose to paint them to prevent light exposure,you are not maintaining your farm,must be the worst farm I have ever seen
can you post link where you got it ?
I had a 80ft ash tree 6 ft from my house , the main bark was 35 inch diameter and just perfect and flawless with the diamond grooves on the bark.. Sent a video to arboretum arborist and he told me to get rid of my ash because it was too close to the house and the deck built around it was not good for the ash tree and it had a slight lean. I have been miserable without my ash tree and it’s so hot here in southern California that makes me miss my ash tree. It had a bunch of seedlings and I noticed some are growing here and there , can u take the green seedling and transplant near the stump? They grind the stump 8inch below soil!! If I plant these baby seedlings 2ft from the main stump , will it be okay? I have been shopping around for trees to give me a canopy but they are not native like the Chinese pistache male , It won’t help with soil erosion like the ash tree? Please advise thanks
Hello, thanks for the quality video. Do you think that is good investment, have you research the markets? I have a land and i'm thinking about growing Paulownia for wood :). Thank you.
would this work on regular eastern grey squirrels?
Hi there, I think this trap is more geared towards ground squirrels; in my mind, I think ground squirrels are used to crawling into tight/confined spaces that tree squirrels aren't used to. People who have used this trap for tree squirrels tend to report poor results :(
when I was in san diego, I went to farmer's market and bought mulberry. after eat most of the basket, I direct put the rest of the mulberry in the small plant pot. (yes just bury the fruits in the soil) soak the soil twice everyday and high temperature (July), no direct sunlight. after 2-3 weeks I have almost 10 baby mulberry plants. just a personal experience.
I wished this worked for us. We only caught one. The other squirrels realized the first squirrel was trapped (as did he). So they would come up to the trap but NOT go in. The trapped squirrel seemed to communicate with them: Don't do it! Maybe we have gifted squirrels?
Wood chips are easy to get. Chicken manure in large quantities, not so much.
Could you please tell me what you use for feed? I have countless squirrels and I’m hardly getting any. I think when I’m using for bait isn’t working.
Hi there, I use chicken feed. It's nothing fancy, any should work fine. If they aren't going into the trap, you might feed them a bit without the trap to get them to like the feed. Then you could put the trap out with feed inside after free feeding them for a few days. I've heard that some species of squirrels are much harder to trap than others.
I layered a 50/50 chicken manure wood chip mix in between layers of 100% wood chips. Its been a couple weeks now and all of the manure layers have mushrooms growing out everywhere. Hoping those will help breakdown some of the surface crust. I'm still on the fence on whether or not to turn
Very interesting topic . I always wonder isn't it awesome if we travel using only solar powered
I agree! It's a real trip to think that this cart just pulls energy "out of thin air".
Yes @@BriansPermacultureProject
Subbed, no question! I love what you're doing and your attitude to make it work with what you have lying around - you clearly have a good understanding of forces at play and where you need to add strength. You'd probably get a kick out of some of my stuff too, but I'm not yet as comfortable talking to the camera as you are. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for this very kind message! I'm glad you like the "make it work" approach to projects like this. I know some people like pristine builds (like Mike Festiva), but I think rough and tumble builds like this have their place. If you ever share your projects, let me know, I'd love to check them out!
@BriansPermacultureProject hey man, there's a couple of videos on my channel, but I'm always adding more.
I have bought the seeds and try to grow in North California
Very cool! Update me with how it goes~
What feed u use
I just use chicken feed. It has corn, Milo, millet, sunflower, etc.
Thank you. I harvested a ton of seeds from a beautiful specimen I found in Oceanside,CA I will use this method.
This is great to hear! I hope everything goes well. I hope to hear back with updates.
What bait draws them in?
I use chicken scratch.
I built one of these. Works like a charm. I let the tree squirrels go. They keep the yard free of crickets and other bugs and I like watching them play with the birds. The ground squirrels however, they go back in the ground, just differently than they came out.
We have a ground squirrel infestation, so we will definitely try this trap. We just don’t want our tree squirrels to get caught in it.
This is awesome! I'm not sure what the prices are on these things lately, but making your own is surely very inexpensive!
Wow! I didn’t know it could get that hot. What if several buckets of kitchen scraps were added? Where would you add it and would it change anything?
I would add them right at the beginning of the process. All that extra nitrogen would help keep the heat up during the process.
I should add, I've tried and failed to germinate Green Ash many times. I always let the seeds dry out... However, every nook and cranny in my yard sprouts seedlings sown by wind and water. They transplant easily. :-)
Thanks for sharing this! I'll keep an eye out around the ash trees I know of in our area.
Yes, they are somewhat difficult to germinate. Your technique made it more difficult. Biggest issue, TOO DEEP! The seeds are designed to be scattered with the wind in winter and carried by runoff with melting snow. They are not intended to be buried, just set on damp soil or some damp crevice. The cotyledons are huge and not easily pushed up through soil. To keep seeds from drying during stratification do it indoors in plastic bags. To keep seeds from drying outdoors, mulch with shallow sand, water/mist a few times per day and keep them out of wind and sun. If you just need a few trees, take 1000 seeds and just soak/rinse them a long time in room temperature water. A few percent will germinate. You can also scatter lots of seed on good ground out of sun and wind and keep them moist. A few percent will germinate. See USDA Woody Plant Seed Manual, file F for Fraxinus... www.fs.usda.gov/nsl/nsl_wpsm.html
My fruit trees and vegetables will be safe this year as the Squirrelinator is working well.
Are you sure that the plants that come from these seeds will be elongata or could they be paulownias of another species?
I am ordering from a reputable seed company (not an Etsy or eBay seller), so hopefully they have done their homework.
LOL!
Man Brian you have no idea how happy and sad I am to watch this video. If I just watched this clip 10 years ago. I had so many unlucky attempts to grow sequoia trees. But your let the seeds in the jar method is awesome!!!
This is so nice to hear! Have you found that it works for sequoia trees?
Very interesting. And lovely livestock guardian dog! Is it a Maremma? We had one who passed away recently, she was wonderful.
The peach should have had the outer shell removed
This year June 2024 I've got 50 in 2 weeks
great video, thanks for these infos
Great video 🇳🇿🌱
Thanks so much! Glad it was useful ~
Great update on the progress and time line.
Method
This week put in the garden the last few transplants, i had a little compost leftover and i decided to use it all to then move the compost bin in another area of the garden. I sifted everything and probably had 200+ nighcrawlers hiding in there. I put them back in my garden but since i want to build a worm bin as well i'll just recover them from my compost pile and save money.
Does anyone know if this trap can work on rats as well?
Great to have found you. Good quality professional videos. Applause
GOD Bless you for sharing Brian!!!
Give it another 6 months. Then post it again. That's not finished compost
What I see is a pile that's way to dry.
How about adding a bit of ashes from our fire pit ? Its mostly oak wood ash i think
That'll work for sure
I have two huge piles of woodchips from trees cut down on our property thata been sitting for a couple of years. There is more soil in some of that than in " sOiL MiXeS " i bought from big box stores 😂 .plus is teaming with life so i feel like a "rich man " at least when it comes to mulchint mu garden hahaha
