Hi all!
I just bought a property in Park County, CO and the land has no trees in it. I’ve been advised by excavators that it’s mainly decomposed granite soil, maybe 18-24” deep, and that I can’t grow trees because of the high winds they get (60-100mph). But, there are trees on other properties surrounding mine, and I have watershed at the bottom of the property. I was thinking of starting with smaller trees like saplings or 3-4’ Aspen, and using rock around the base to weight down the trees. I’m hoping if I start with young trees they’ll grow into the soil and as long as I can keep them weighted down, they won’t blow out of the ground. Does anyone have some recommendations? Thanks in advance!
