I started with them because I can grow a decent number of fruits and tons of berries in my climate. Nuts and fat/oil sources are a bit harder so I started with them. Plus they take longer to bear so I figured I should get them going sooner. The only truly hardy nuts here are hazelnuts and butternuts. My hickory are very borderline and I also have Carpathian walnuts that I believe are also borderline.Priscilla Stilwell wrote:Thanks Mike. Why did you start with nuts, out of curiosity?

"The rule of no realm is mine. But all worthy things that are in peril as the world now stands, these are my care. And for my part, I shall not wholly fail in my task if anything that passes through this night can still grow fairer or bear fruit and flower again in days to come. For I too am a steward. Did you not know?" Gandolf
