I have some pear/crabapples growing in small woods openings of about 0.5 acres, and they seem to be doing well.
My question is what would be the minimum size clearing I could get away with? I have a couple true woods food plots, that are only 0.1-0.2 acres (small canopy opening). Right now I grow some clover and WR, but I was thinking if I could get a fruit tree or 2 to produce in each one it would make a heck of a draw. Does anyone have any experience with this? Will a pear/crabapple thrive and produce with only a couple hours of sunlight a day? Or is this a waste of time and money?
