tree creak @moistwelldrained.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Was so excited to plant a sassafras this year that I planted two. This one's leaves shriveled up before it sprang back into form; the other did well most of the season until it suddenly died. Excited again about this survivor! #nativeplants 230 0
tree creak @moistwelldrained.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Just planted a dozen more blue wood aster plugs. Any thoughts on calico aster? #nativeplants 150 0

tree creak @moistwelldrained.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Very satisfying to shake a paw paw tree, hearing the fruit fall through foliage and go thump. I don't think the smell and taste will ever grow on me. Really like how easy they are to grow from seed. #nativeplants 280 0
tree creak @moistwelldrained.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Fifth year trying dwarf chinkapin oak acorns after reading D. Tallamy. Yield is never great but I do get a couple seedlings every year. Still not convinced there's an oak for every yard (eg we don't have much full sun and our yard is wet), but ask me again in a few years! #nativeplants 380 0

tree creak @moistwelldrained.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Tupelo seeds (Nyssa sylvatica). Another good one for my yard, already have two small trees. Tupelo will be putting on a show in a few weeks. 100 0

tree creak @moistwelldrained.bsky.social · 12/09/2026First ever New England aster flower in my yard. Otherwise not a notable photo / plant, but feels big to me!

tree creak @moistwelldrained.bsky.social · 28/08/2026First white wood aster flower in my yard! Feels great to have this friend, ubiquitous in the forests of CT, now in my own yard. So far so good in year one. Not sure what will grow well under the Norway maples. 🤞 #nativeplants 140 0

tree creak @moistwelldrained.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Gorgeous catalpa, common riverside tree in CT. Massive leaf, uniquely shaped. The most striking flowers of any native tree around. #nativeplants 120 0
tree creak @moistwelldrained.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Foliage and immature drupes of black tupelo (Nyssa sylvatica), Hartford, CT.

tree creak @moistwelldrained.bsky.social · 17/08/202650% success with last year's paw paw crop! I'd given up hope but then noticed a familiar leaf amid the weeds. Had a higher hit rate last year but I'll take it. Need to figure out how to increase my dwarf chinkapin oak yield... #nativeplants 020 0
