Is there any fruit & nut explorers here that are growing purely native species in their plantings? That sounds like a wonderful idea. I know Jack Knight in Waukon IA has been planting thousands of persimmon, paw paw, & peach seeds directly. He's trying to establish a self-regenerative wild system. Last time I talked to him, I heard alot about how many he's killed compared to what's established after 20 years, but I seem to remember that fruit & nut production was pretty spotty.

I add my observations with some trepidation. Native vs. Non-native has
an emotion quotient right up there with religion and organic vs.
chemical.
