First the census question:
I recieved a census form from the USDA to report what I'm
growing. Any suggestions on how to estimate acreage per tree.
The form requires me to report what I'm growing by the 1/10 of
an acre. Don't know for sure how I was lucky enough to get on
this survey :-)

My Inventory (On two acres ~1/3 - 1/2 filled w/ fruiting
plants):
Note: much is young and some has not yet flowered or produced

Apples:
1 full size tree that will eventually be multi-variety (I'm
not overly fond of Winesap, though it does make a decent
cider).
