Diversification is key to any successful investment strategy.
I planted two black walnut trees at the same time as those apple trees. They haven't produced yet either. I live in rural Maine so it makes things grow slower.
Just so you know, being planted near black walnut trees also makes things grow slower. But yeah, I imagine that Maine would depress just about any tree...
I did not say they are planted near the black walnut trees. The black walnuts are isolated from everything else I plan on planting. I'm aware of their natural suppression method.
Ah. I didn't want to assume anything about your level of knowledge/experience. Apple trees and most nut trees can take a long time regardless, so time will tell how they perform...
