What Tree Company are people buying farm shelter belt trees from?

If you want to kill a caragana saturate the roots.

Sheepwheat I would be concerned about bush or shrubs providing cover for coyotes scouting a lamb lunch.

Carragana isn’t resistant to a dozer and breaking disk. They’re a menace on the river hills where they have spread from farm sites. Heard a double rate of curtail M beats them up good. When my ancestors settled there wasn’t a tree. They had to travel 10 miles to the river for firewood. Had to go 40 miles for saw lumber. Once they started farming the prairie fires subsided and trees flourished. Probably from when they settled 1905 until the 30’s fires were a regular threat.

Wilton you hit the nail on the head. In our area, it was zero trees for miles. Before the 1900s fires would start and burn for days in Saskatchewan. Rebirth of the earth. But Trees would start then get burnt off before mature.

It's for shelterbelt redo around the original yard. 30 ft further out all the way around. The First trees from the 1961 program have come to the end of their life. The second row is good needs a new two-row system for the future.

The first row will get cut down and made into firewood, yes firewood for our sled shack and the new one we're building this summer in a different location.

RB has some really nice stuff, thanks but we have already two Cats and a Hoe.

Guard dogs on duty. Proper fence. Frequent moves. And the sheep eat the brush down over time so the treed areas become a silvo pasture, yet they still get windbreak and shade, and provide coyotes with diddly for cover. Planted rows won’t have underbrush like the native trees do. I’m thinking even less of actual tree rows, and more of clumps of trees here n there.

In this area it was fully treed at settlement. But we’re only twenty miles from the forest as the crow flies.

Nothing cuts the wind like trees slab fence helps but not as good. Wish i had more trees for nasty weather like this. Brrrrr.

I partly blame Harper for shutting down the Indian Head nursery, but mostly blame this SK government for watching it go. Compared to the 4 billion they want to spend for irrigation, the tree nursery was a drop in the bucket and many more people would of benefited from trees.
