What are people's experiences with red mulberries, american persimmons, pecans, and white walnut regarding dead limbs and falling branches? I'm trying to figure out a few large food producing
trees that would be good to plant as the highest layer relatively closer to structures, while having mostly smaller trees right around buildings and more taller trees further away. Since they would be near a building site, assuming they wouldn't be planted in areas with much standing
water. not sure about soil type, but I'm sure these things would make a difference in how common dead limbs are for different species..
Would any of those four species be good in that kind of role? Regardless of those particular species, which large trees have you found to have the fewest dead limbs that need to be removed or avoided putting things under throughout their lives?
