My parents and brother in the past. Deer will eat all, but the walnuts. Protect them. The trees make for great food plot.

I didn't get any from the state but I do have an order coming from MDC (Missouri Department of Conservation). They have smaller quantities and a greater selection for what I was looking for (shrubs).
State nursery only had some different oaks remaining....
I'll second the protecting them comment. Deer seem to have a wonderful ability to find each one you plant....and then eat the crap out of it!

Tree planting and protecting them is sort of like shooting at the enemy. You can be very precise and put a lot of effort into a single shot (American Sniper). OR you can spray the bullets around and pray you hit something (Rambo)!

OR you can spray the bullets around and pray you hit something (Rambo)! I used to plant a couple hundred bare root seedlings per year, only to have most if not all of them eaten by deer. I now prescribe to the plant 15-20 a year and either cage or tube them with much better success in the long run. I like the cages much better, but they're definitely more expensive and kinda a pain in the rear |

Lets see how the deer repellent spray goes this year. I'll take a picture of the package tomorrow if I remember.

I have 120 basswood (Linden) seeds to plant in the next couple weeks. Not going to protect them. Hoping a few make it.
I'm now looking to get a few white fringe trees. Not sure why this native tree isn't popular. I guess the name is the culprit. I've been trying to go with native trees and bushes.

I have planted over 40,000 trees on our place over the last couple decades. The deer won't get them all and you can buy seedlings pretty darned cheap. Tubes and cages are expensive and add a bunch more work. The only thing I cage are fruit trees. Indiana state nurseries are generally a pretty good price, when they couldn't accommodate me I simply bought from private nurseries. Last place I bought a bunch was Cold Stream Farms, cost wasn't much greater.

Next up till some dirt and plant sunflowers
I get a lot of my fruit trees at the end of selling season most times 50% off from the box stores picked over but they still grow apples pears and the deer don’t seem to mind if the trees are not perfect

I've got a question on PawPaws. What type of soil (composition and moisture range) do they like? We only have sandy soil here, but there are some areas that have a couple feet of loam on top of the sand. Some areas are sort of wet, puddles will stay there for about a week to a month if the water table is high, (River Birch and Pin Oak do well there) but right outside of that area there is White Oak, Red Oak, Sassafras, Red Maple and an occasional Black Cherry growing.

Pawpaw like good drainage soil. Will not grow is wet soils. Mine are on a slope and doing well. |

Kind of a side note, but what region of the state are you in? This may be purely anecdotal but it seems like the further north you go in the state the less and less you see. |
