Have about 77 chestnut trees (about 14 producing), 12 apple trees producing, a couple pear trees, several persimmon and mulberry trees. I do not have enough experience yet to conclusively say if helps as much as advertised; but we have lots of grain crops, oak trees, and such in this area. What are everyones' thoughts? Are they worth the cost and effort?
We have started planting some chestnut trees for wildlife (deer) and with the drought these last few years have lost about half of them some to deer crashing through the wire cages and some to harvester ants defoliating all the leaves the first spring….. having a tough time trying to get them established….. at 35$ to 50$ each…… we have planted one Japanese persimmon and hopefully this next spring it will fruit out we will see
