tree creak @moistwelldrained.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I'm potting lots of tree and perennial seeds this year. How does this look as a soil option? shop.moscarillos.com/product/bulk... #nativeplants 000
tree creak @moistwelldrained.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Good to know, thanks! I spread these next to my cinnamon fern and white snakeroot. 010
tree creak @moistwelldrained.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I think we get excited about this tree because we can hardly believe it's real. In some ways the excitement is incommensurate with the reality, eg it's not native to New England, its ecological impact is not as great as others, and the fruit... Maybe if you grew up eating it.

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

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
tree creak @moistwelldrained.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I suppose this is a white oak mast year? #nativeplants 021

tree creak @moistwelldrained.bsky.social · 30/09/2026To me, acorns are a tree's dark pearls, they are bird home and squirrel dash, and they are the sound of fall weather - pang pang pang - as Santa Ana winds knock loose the hard nuts that pelt the roof of the backyard shed." #nativeplants 110
tree creak @moistwelldrained.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Here's some flavor: "I love acorns and always have some in my desk drawer or lined up on the mantle or tucked in a pocket of my rucksack. I give them as gifts, but only to my closest friends. [ctnd] 110

tree creak @moistwelldrained.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Thanks! It's so adaptable, and it's an aster - seems like a great native groundcover solution. The general lack of excitement makes me wary! Anyway, I have two going in this fall... 010

tree creak @moistwelldrained.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I've been eyeing bigleaf for some dry shade / part shade, found a couple plugs I haven't planted yet. Descriptions seem to suggest it's a plant for a particular niche but otherwise not that attractive (eg may not flower very much). Curious to see how it does in a pretty dry spot. 100
