Larry, That box is packed! I can see you have a high success rate. I'm currently building a box myself, it's a little different from yours though. I'll take a photo when it's complete. I collected some seed from a large american elm that is in my mother-in-laws front yard. Does it matter if the seed was still green? I transplanted some river birch that were growing in my flowerbed. I'll be doing the same at my uncles. His flowerbeds a loaded with chestnut oak and hickory seedlings. How old is the swamp white oak you planted?

And I love all the other little vegetation guys next to the tree box, too. I hope I get to understand trees enough to do that someday. I'm trying to grow all kinds of different dwarf grass species from seed on my fire escape. But the mourning doves and sparrows like to sit and rest in the planters so the grass seedlings keep getting smothered. But the birds look way too cute to chase away... Thanks for posting the pix. Looking forward to the next progress report!
