4b. Yeah I agree. Hoping someone had luck with a hybrid in a cold climate. Or another late falling fruit tree

Yeah I'm just looking for a later season fruit or nut drop tree to put in. I haven't read much about persimmons working in southern mn. Sounds like they'd live but wouldn't produce much fruit.

Anyone have luck with persimmons in hardiness zone 4? I already have apple and pear on my property. Want to diversify more.

This is what it looks like after the clear cut

I have very low levels of potassium. So I'm going to deal with that next spring right away.

Thanks that's some great insight. I want to do annual plantings. When do I add tillage radish/ daikon radish into the equation?

What would improve soil health more with a spring cover planting? Buckwheat or annual clover/ oats.

I was thinking an annual clover. Got my soil test back. Ph is 7.4 and I'm way low on potassium and a little low in phosphorus.

So would I have good luck broadcast seeding winter grains in August on top of spring planted clover?

Can get a skid steer or utv. Have access to disc and drag too. Plan on using a broadcast spreader.

Okay thanks. Never done a plot before. Things I've read say clover wouldn't be good after a frost. Which in southern mn is usually around oct 1.

I'm in south east Mn and just clear cut a quarter acre food plot. Planning on a pea, oat, rye grain fall planting. I just sent in my soil sample last week and should be getting that back soon. My question is, what should I do this spring as far as planting a nurse crop to get me to fall? Oats...
