Drought, field mice, heavy grass, and deer were the problems.

walnuts are easy but if you plant too many , the soil chemistry will be more arsenic.

if you can transplant entire big rootballs of 6 inch hickories, they might long term live. my brother and i almost killed ourselves with the size of the rootball.

Black cherry is easy to transplant but do it where the shade is balanced.

i mainly had white pine, spruce seedlings. i rescued oaks, pines and hickories.

I allowed box elders to live in a few areas.m

American elms and Siberian elms and birches for fun.

Sedum can be mighty effective and transplantable
