I sought out the most cold tolerant hybrid stock I could find. I have plants from badgerset, new forest farm and twisted tree farm, but the ones that are producing are from the first two.

I have a field behind my house with a bunch of volunteer ash mixed in, they hit them pretty hard, every one is browsed but they can put compete eventually. I plan to coppice a certain percent each year to keep them bushy
