    [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] lets not forget Nutz testing the e-collar. [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img]

    Cut'em...I didn't know you had gotten your screen name from "Cut'em off", first thing I know is that I have a great stand and then directly I see Cut'em slip over from his spot into the flight path the birds were taking to my stand. [img]graemlins/confused.gif[/img] only thing I could do was come join you and watch you whack a few. [img]graemlins/thumb2.gif[/img]

    In all seriousness that was one of the more enjoyable days I have had in the dove field in a long time....
    If you don't know me how could I offend you?

    yessir, it was a great time!

    Lab is a helluva host with a awesome home place.

    and the e-collar "test" runs a close second to the miss-identified tree.

    Never had any egyptian, was all forage sorghum,used as a cover crop for deer. Egyptian has too much leaf for dove in my opinion.

    Cutone, if you boys would get out of those tower stands, quit shooting deer over corn and put those damn rifles up, you may actually learn to hunt and something about the woods and the fruit bearing trees deer prefer to use!

    Did you plant them in sand?

    Most fruit trees with pits, like a peach, plum,& persimmon are hard to start. The best way to sart them is in a 1 gallon pot of sand, water it often and they will grow.

    I would think the acidity & moisture in the possom shitake would help the persimmon germinate and grow.

    DT,
    Not sure about p'simmons but some seeds have to pass through an animals digestive tract before they will germinate. One of those as you probably know is poke salad.

    Another I have suspicions about is cedar. You never see young cedar sproutlings under a cedar tree where the berries naturally fall. But anywhere birds may rest after feeding on the berries, like on fencelines, the seedling are everywhere. This suggest to me that the cedar/juniper berries have to pass through a bird's alimentary canal before germinating.

    When I did a little search I saw where some seeds also have a better germination rate (in some cases 80% better) when they pass through an animal's digestive tract, even though it wasn't "required" for germination.

    Why?
    As Mergie alluded to, some seeds have protective coatings that the enzymes in the possum's stomach broke down. The same thing would have happened if they had passed through a deer,raccoon,or bird. It's like a natural innoculate.

    It's nature's way of spreading the plants around.

    They would probably sprouted on their on in the second year without being eaten.

    Naw - least we made it. (That was too easy) We peaked too soon and then hit a cold spell. Clemson will be in the hunt again for a few years if we can keep our coach.

    Why's everything got to be about sports - the fact that you're KNND and could make money eating and growing persimmon trees should be good for something.

    Didn't Clemson get farther this year than the cockle-doodle-don'ts did? How's that losing 8 of 9 in football thing going?
