Hello,
We have been planting trees on some of our land, and so far they have been mostly red and white oak, green ash, white pine, and spruce. I have planted walnuts when I can get some locally, and have put in some sugar maple seedlings when I find them to transplant. Also have planted a few chestnuts from a tree in the area that is still alive.
We are thinking it would be nice to have some fruitwood timber sometime in the future (partly my 21 year old son's idea) and I am looking for suggestions on apple, pear, and plum varieties to plant for timber. I am thinking that rootstock that would develop into a "full size" tree would be appropriate, but would like suggestions from anyone who may have experience with this. I'm at the cold edge of zone 4, an hour east of S. Paul, MN.
Thanks.
Jim Erdman, in Menomonie, WI
