For those of you that have trees producing a lot of fruit do you think the attraction those trees create in the fall (october/november) is greater then an Annual plot? My annual plots usually consist of a mixture of Rye, Oats, Peas, Clover and Brassicas. I will likely continue leaving some corn in future years, that is why I want to exclude that from this question.
I have lots of trees I need to transplant from my house to the farm. I have limited space for the trees unless I begin planting them in/around my annual plots. I am fine with doing so if the attraction/draw will be as good as an annual plot. I understand this will likely be dependent on the location and surrounding properties. I am in an area that is about 50/50 timber crop ground.
How does tonnage per acre from mature apple/pear trees rank compared to annual plots?
The attraction to my property is not great until late fall, there aren't any other real food plotters in close proximity to me, but there is enough ag around that there is plenty of food for most of the fall. I dont know of many people growing fruit for the deer so I am hoping it help the attraction to my property in early fall when my trees start producing.
