So I plan to add quite a few Norway’s this year. They do well in my area (Northwest NJ). I’m going to scatter them throughout the bedding area that I started last season and will improve as soon as season ends Jan 31st. I also plan to line/circle the perimeter of this area to act as a windbreak/thermal barrier. It should also double as a visual barrier although I place my stands so I can enter and exit without being seen from the bedroom. So for that task I’m leaning towards Norway’s. This year has been very hectic and so I will most likely not get Apples and chestnuts in the ground as I need to prep a spot and clear an area. My property is all hardwoods so any improvements involve a monumental tree removal process and I am prioritizing other projects that have been started first.
With that being said, what other trees or plants/bushes are possible to establish in a hardwoods environment? I was looking into wild grapes, blackberries etc etc. but the possibilities are endless.
I’m open to all suggestions and would like your thoughts on this as collectively the membership has most likely tried just about everything out there. The more foolproof and the faster it grows the better. There is a thriving black bear population here also so that has to be taken into account.
Again I will be looking to finalize a location for some apples (most likely crab varieties and low maintenance for wildlife) as well as chestnuts and who knows what else for the following offseason
