The Prairie Rose crabtree will reach a height of 20′ and a width of 20′. The crabapples as a family – are more of a medium grower. Depending on the site – a crabapple would take 10-15 years to reach maturity.

Once they have chewed off the bark, it will severely set the tree back. Depending on how deep the wounds – it’s hard to say if the tree will die or not. You can use trunk protectors on smaller sized trees, and on the larger trees – you would need to put a small fence of sorts around the trees to keep the beavers away from the trunk of the tree. On the sealants – sometimes they will trap moisture inside, under the sealant, which could possibly promote decay.

How tolerant is this tree of black walnut? I love American Beech, and if this is similar, I’d love to have one in my back hard. However, It has to tolerate the neighbor’s black walnut.

Leif or Deb,
I live in Rosewood Estates off Heywood Road. There is a beautiful pond along Heywood with lots of trees. Seven beavers, 2 adults and 5 little ones have moved in and are doing much damage. The City of Northfield has hired a trapper and the HOA has wrapped the trees with wire. But the beavers have already chewed off the bark around a few of the big beautiful trees.
Is there a product we can put on this area so the trees won’t die?
Thank you so much for any information that you can provide.
Thanks, Debby

Leif,
Thank you for planting the trees.

Kisti and Edna were the most rich, warm, and accepting women in my life.

Where is this, Way Park? Is that the one between first and St. Olaf avenues? Sort of at the foot of Manitoux street/Av?

I am interested in purchasing white pine cones to make wreaths. I would need approximately 200 white pine cones. Would it be possible to buy this many and if so what would the charge be for the pine cones and the shipping? Would it be possible to ship them to an address in Wisconsin? Thank You.
