Kinda cool, I always thought it was a pest tree!

Can you eat the fruit?

BUT you can go to his site and BUY seeds!

I prefer to use a dozer (yes, I know a dozer spikes someone's blood pressure) on hedge and scavenge some posts out of the pile. Not sure I'd ever purposely plant hedge trees.

1. I'm pretty sure I'd kick this guy's @ss in arm wrestling.

2. I'm willing to sell as many hedge trees as anyone wants to buy. I'll even keep you company by sitting on my tailgate and drinking High Life as you cut them down and haul them off. $10 a tree sound fair?

Excellent idea, and if they also are in need of Eastern Red Cedar for their Arrah's, they are welcome to swing by my place and get all the shaft they need. :tup:

I'll be drinkin Guinness though..... :D

When they are finished at your place, they can come collect all the rocks they want off my place to fasten into sharp points!

I'll be having Busch Lattes

Best part is, all it takes is a ride though MO/KS and you can have it all in a few days, no need to wait 20 years to watch your bow grow.... :tup:

LOL....you got em and don't want em…...I want em and don't have em. Not one hedge tree on my place but lots of hickory.

At $10 a tree, sounds like you need to head west young man.... :wave1:

I'd also suggest picking up a case of High Life, icing it down cause Nick can be a surly cuss at times, and it helps take the edge off. :wave1:
