Larry & Scott, I would also like to collect seed from local sources. There are two 17'+ x 100'+ sycamores within the township. Have either of you tried planting any sycamores or anything like their seeds? Should I lightly press the tiny nutlets into the soil or just sprinkle them on the ground? The soil we purchase is a mix of topsoil, compost, and sand. Would it be okay for the tree box and potting? Once I transplant the seedlings into pots I would like to put the pots in the ground for two or three years until I can plant them in one of the parks. Scott, where could I purchase some of the Rootmaker pots and what size should they be if the trees are going to be in them for several years? I know I have a lot of questions. I'm trying to get some kind of tree program going and have an annual budget. Last year we planted 250 seedlings in a preserve and 75 2"-2.5" caliper trees through a grant for a stream bank restoration project.

I plan to come to Cook Forest sometime in the future. I'll bring you some, a Live Oak also, and whatever else you might want from down south. Look forward to the photos.
