A quick update for everyone who has placed a tree order through our website. We’ll begin shipping as soon as temperatures cool down enough to safely ship. We’ve been working hard to keep every tree healthy through this intense heat dome, and we truly appreciate your patience and understanding. Our full inventory will be listed on the website in September, so keep an eye out! Thank you for supporting Owl Creek Farm!

These are field grafts of improved honey locust and persimmon grafted directly onto native trees growing in an overgrown pasture. Despite a major drought, they have required no irrigation.
Field grafting is one of the easiest ways to turn existing wild trees into improved, productive trees with very little effort. The established native root systems provide the drought tolerance and vigor, while the grafts provide better fruit or pods.
These improved honey locust produce high sugar pods with few or no thorns. The pods can be used as livestock fodder, a natural sugar substitute, for making locust beer, or simply as a deer magnet in a food plot.
The improved persimmons produce excellent fruit for people and anything left behind will be greatly appreciated by the deer.
Why start over when you can put the roots already growing on your land to work?

A quick update from the pawpaw grafting workshop at Stuart Park!
I'm happy to report that the grafting was a success, and many of the grafts are already pushing healthy new growth. It's always exciting to see those buds break and know the graft has taken.
The trees were grafted over to the cultivar 'Sunflower', a productive nativar from Chanute, Kansas known for its larger fruit and excellent flavor. If all goes well, these newly grafted trees should begin producing pollen and fruit within the next few years, helping expand the pawpaw grove for future visitors to enjoy.
Thank you to everyone who attended, observed, asked questions, and helped make the workshop a success (especially Walt). It's rewarding to share these skills and contribute to the preservation and improvement of these unique native fruit trees.
Be sure to check back on the grove as the season progresses. The new growth is already looking promising!

We have a great selection of Che trees available in 1-gallon RootMaker® containers! Most are Darrow, with a few Hwang K*m #4 selections available.
All trees are grafted onto Osage orange rootstock, creating exceptionally tough, vigorous trees with excellent drought tolerance and very few pest or disease issues. The fruit has a unique flavor often described as a blend of fig, mulberry, and watermelon. Che trees also remain a manageable size, making them a great choice for home orchards and food forests.
As RootMaker® Certified Growers, we use containers designed to air-prune roots and encourage a dense, fibrous root system rather than circling roots. This results in healthier trees that establish faster, experience less transplant shock, and are better equipped to find water and nutrients after planting.
We are a small, family-owned, licensed nursery in Oklahoma. We collect local seed, grow our own rootstocks, and perform all grafting ourselves to ensure quality from start to finish.
