250 (estimate) trees on b118 producing an average of 6 (more once fully mature) bushels of fruit each, at around 45 lbs./bushel = 67,500 lbs. (33.75 TONS) of fruit :eek: Even if half of those trees only produce every other year...you're looking at one heck of a lot of "dessert" on the ground.
Between wild, grafted, and ornamental trees I've got about 50 fruit trees here. I'll add another dozen or so next year...then that's about it. Even with that number of trees, I'm going to have tons (literally) of fruit rotting on the ground in a decade or so. Granted, central WI has a LOT more deer than central MN...but I'm not sure there's that many more ;)
Put a plan of some sort together CE
