Subject: Re: [NAFEX] Fruit trees for timber
Some of the NNGA members in Ontario who are also members of S.O.N.G.
[Society of Ontario Nut Growers] grew black walnut up to 9 feet tall,
then grafted persian/english walnuts at that height. The proposed
result was to be the straight black walnut bole of 9' [the best part
for boards] and the english walnut crop. In practice, I think there's
plenty of black walnuts the chain saw jockeys cut down and average size
black walnut aren't so rare. I haven't heard of this being done with
fruit trees - has anyone else?
