I am planning a conservation project in Southeast Nebraska in Gage County and I have some questions about the products. I am planning on planting these trees around stream areas and had some questions to ensure they survive. These trees are going to be in pasture areas and I am looking at possibly baling the grass that grows around these trees.
1. What is the ideal pH for these trees?
2. Are these trees good for erosion control along stream banks?
3. What is a good tree spacing?
4. At what age will these trees be able to tolerate a prescribed burn?
5. How resistant to disease is this tree?
6. What is the drought tolerance of this tree?
7. What is the lifespan of these trees?

1. What is the ideal pH for these trees? 4.5-8
2. Are these trees good for erosion control along stream banks? Yes
3. What is a good tree spacing? Spacing should be based on mature width of tree about 50-75'. You can space closer and the trees will intertwine when they are older
4. At what age will these trees be able to tolerate a prescribed burn? unsure
5. How resistant to disease is this tree? see website factsheet noted above
6. What is the drought tolerance of this tree? relatively tolerant
7. What is the lifespan of these trees? Short lived less than 80 years

At what point of growth can livestock and or wild life graze with out kill the young trees

That is not something we can really provide an answer for. It would depend on what size/maturity the trees would have to be to withstand the kind of life stock you have when they graze or brush up against them.
