RE: Planting Chestnut Trees - Chinese Superior

in #homesteading7 years ago

We have two peach trees, two cherry trees and an apple in our small yard. I think I've identified a place to fit three or four more, but am currently working on learning to properly raise and get fruit from the ones we have. It's so much easier to get flowers than fruit since everything in the world wants the fruit!!!

If I were to aim for more trees, I'd probably look to get another apple tree and maybe a pear - nuts would probably create a huge nuisance and it would be even harder to defend against the squirrels than our fruit trees are.

In the meantime, this will be the first year we can eat the fruit from all our trees and I've just given them their first real spring pruning since they had enough growth to need a serious rearrangement.

Our new addition this year was actually blueberries instead of trees. Looking forward to getting those going!

Sounds great, blueberries are great!!
