NW IL farm.
Thinking about a small habitat project for the fall. One of the things that the property lacks is a so called "covey headquarters" type habitat. The information I got from Univ of MO has some recommendations such as dogwood, hazelnut, plum. Thicket type woody cover.
USDA sheets are saying don't plant dogwood after May, but I can't find much other info otherwise. Anyone have any experience trying hazelnut or plum or other thicket type cover in the fall? Or should I just call it off and wait for spring.
[ETA: Pics added - see top of page 2 - things DO NOT look good ]
