The site: sloping land, southeast exposure, well-protected by softwood forest. Planting will be at about 1300 feet. No doubt acidic soils which I will be liming this summer/fall.
The orchard: I am looking at planting the following varieties:
All trees will be on semi-dwarfing rootstock, M7 or CG30. Obviously I have included some eating fruit in here, but ones that I do not have at the research orchard. I will most likely weed out a few of these, and am looking for advice on which to avoid in a zone 4 location.
Any advice?
Thanks,
TerryB
