I just got a phone call granting me permission to help myself to what ever I want to a 10 acre lot of ground that has been semi over run for the past 8-10 years along side a state forest that is about to get cleared for a houses in the next couple weeks.
I was told there are an abundant amount of small wild trees and bushes from seedlings to adult trees but most are about 1-8 years of age besides the large adult trees.
It's still spring (late spring) so I hope what I do get lives.
Black Locus
Red Mulberry
Eastern Red Cedar
Pin Oak
Willow Oak
Persimmon
Sand Cherry
Swamp Maple (no idea what this is)
and what ever other native plants to Delaware there might be.
My question is has anyone worked with black Locust, Pin Oak, Red Mulberry, Persimmon, Sand Cherry or a "Swamp Maple"?
Any info, tips, or tricks would help especially figuring out what a swamp maple is.
And does anyone know of some great native species to my area I should keep an eye open for?
Thanks,
Kevin
