Actually we have a lot of squirrels here, but we have 40 acres of woods that have a lot of oak and hickory trees in it and so far the squirrels have stayed there.  Hope that continure.  Of course, we never get any hickory nuts.

I hope you don't have any squirrels at your location.  They love them.

Subject: Re: [NAFEX] Sweet Cherries

I planted some hazelnuts in my orchard and if you keep the sucker cut off, it will be a small tree.  This year would have been the first year that they bloomed and the April freeze got the blossoms, but the trees are doing well.  You live in about the same zone (5a) as I do, so they should work for you.  I don't think they grow very tall.

That's interesting. I never thought about nuts, and I didn't realize
that hazelnuts were bushes. I figured nut trees would be too big and not
productive enough to bother with.

Hmm,... I'll have to think about it, but cherries still sound more
appealing, I think. Still, if I can plant a self-pollinating sweet
cherry, I might hold off on planting another. There's really no reason I
absolutely HAVE to fill up every square inch of my yard right away, is
there? :-D

Thanks!
