Well thanks for the information, or confirmation. When these trees grow in the wild I don't know what the mortality rate is. Dad planted a bunch of seedlings way out in the field back in the sixties and they were eaten off by the jackrabbits. I don't know what kind of evergreen they were. We didn't have deer at that time but we did have a lot of jacks. Now it's turned around.
We do have a Concolor Fir grove that dad planted back in the fifties. I pulled out nine of them a year ago and replanted new Concolors but they're 3-4 feet tall and were VERY spendy. These little buggers I'm planting in the spring are the first attempt at seedlings since the sixties. I plan to plant them fairly close together and replant at my son's place after a few years. Dad has planted a lot of trees over the years and he claims an evergreen needs to be replanted to make it bush out. I guess we all have our theories whether good or bad. I do plan to fence them. My big Lab keeps the animals away but he pees on anything that sticks up and I know he'll be sniffing the new trees.Jim
