Art mentioned some kinds of fruit and nut and other trees that he thought
would be worth growing.
My question has been, "what varieties of (apple, pear, apricot, etc, etc)
should I grow for the best (fastest, clearest, finest grain, etc) timber
results. If I seriously want to plant black walnut, for example, I can find
out which varieties are best for timber, and which are best for nuts. I'm
looking for similar information on pear, apple, apricot, plum, cherry, etc.
We find that hickory trees are probably beyond their natural northern range
in our area--they will grow if planted, but you don't find any older hickory
trees around. Butternut is common in our neighborhood, as is basswood (have
a couple of basswood trees sawn into boards and carving blocks drying in the
shed).
We have some mulberries and some seedling apricots that have been growing
well, and that I may harvest for the wood.
Speaking of apricot, I think that I got these from Bear Creek some years ago.
Does anyone know of a current source of the siberian apricot seedlings?
Thanks!
