What's the dealio?

:agree2: 101......... sumac won't screen all year and like you, I am paying less than $50 for 7 gal six footers. Nice lime green color, they don't die like crap arborvitae and get bushy and can grow to 60 or more feet. We gotta keep an eye on them for bag worms and I had a screen beat up bad by deer (long legged rats) 2 years ago but every one recovered and look great now.

The addition of Bracken Brown Beauty Mags (semi dwarfs) adds some elegance to the pedestrian Leylands and contrasts nicely. I thought of this and have never seen them together before. The BB mags are more expensive as they are very much in vogue now and worthy of it. I have planted maybe 200 or more over the recent years and not one (1) has died and needed to be replaced. They hardly shed any leaves and are very winter hardy.

This is an $8k screen we are putting in (half in already) and potential for tripling in size if they go with it.

50 a plant is a great price for 7fters they are in demand here so I guess that drives up the price even for family , I will let him know that they are considerably cheaper and I am considering on buying from someone else 'lol, I think the screen and foundation type planting will fill in the gaps of tree work , we already have all the equip. and seldom recently dealt with landscape as a "respect" issue with landscapers ,but since more and more are now also cutting and pruning trees the respect has flown out the window for me and will take the work as I see fit ..

Leylands are weeds!

I like chipping them.

I don't they clog the in feed rollers and come out like clumps of green , they serve there purpose and make a great living fence and are tolerant to long dry summers ...

I couldn't agree with anything more. I have beat out 3 different landscapers in the last week on planting jobs (I am no landscaper and tell ho that). Landscapers always trying to horn in on easy td's or bring in "their guys" on jobs there on. I see this as WAR (and I like war).

Beside those planting jobs, Buddy at big nursery told me they got 5 inch dia 25 foot Autumn blaze (Silv.) maples on sale for $220. I have sold 4 or 5 of them planted already in different properties (just got back from Mich. and got another one sold on my voice mail).

I can make 15 hun clams on ea. one. Beats a big dead pin oak td for same amount. Got to diversify in this economy.

Thanks Dan, I got a real good deal on it. I wanted to buy a commercial property I found nearby. Nobody wants to finance that....so I changed direction and go for that later.

Riding around meeting people, making deals, sales, banking, office work or just riding around running errands all day always makes me more tired than actually working. I can't stand to be on the road in traffic all day. Would much rather be up in the tree.

Glad your doing well TV. I have been busy here as well. I'm about three days behind on my schedule right now which is a good thing. I love it when I am so busy that I am behind trying to catch up. I need to work on setting more realistic goals.

Hunting season right now. I get up at 5 AM every day now and go as long as there is daylight, even on my days off. Been coming home and passing out on the couch. Just exhausted most of the time right now and haven't been getting online much.

Congrats vet! Better late than never, right!

Thanks guys.....my plans are to get a bigger one in 5 or so years and hopefully keep this one. The guy I am buying from has a farm repair business and because of this crane he bought another one and another one and just bought a new 75 ton Link lBelt with 230 feet of stick. He started the biz in 2005.

Seems like he found a way better place to make bucks with a crane than tree work....and he subs out as well.
