Title: Re: [NAFEX] Fruit trees for timber Some years ago I got a tree of a variety in a test plot at Oregon State U. It was twice as tall as any other tree in the plot and when it was grafted, it grew to 8 feet tall in the nursery row. It had a trunk big enough to make a decent saw log before it was 20 years old. The cherries are very good - very large white with red cheek, but picking them is nearly impossible. If someone wanted to grow a woodlot of these trees, they would be big enough for cabinetry in 15 years with good care.

Some of the NNGA members in Ontario who are also members of S.O.N.G.
[Society of Ontario Nut Growers] grew black walnut up to 9 feet tall,
then grafted persian/english walnuts at that height. The proposed
result was to be the straight black walnut bole of 9' [the best part
for boards] and the english walnut crop. In practice, I think there's
plenty of black walnuts the chain saw jockeys cut down and average size
black walnut aren't so rare. I haven't heard of this being done with
fruit trees - has anyone else?
