I think the more that I am looking at the space I have available that the walnut tree is likely not going to fit this postage stamp sized city lot and work for me. I am thinking that I will probably just try the honey locust and mulberry trees with some dwarf or semi dwarf fruit trees. Even that will be pretty crowded, but I think it might be doable. My plan is evolving as I am out digging and working in the yard and as I am reading. So as much as I would like to have a nut tree on the property I think I have to be realistic with the space I have available. So I think I will use the locust and mulberry as my top story, the semi dwarf or dwarf fruit trees as the lower story, then layer bushes and berries under that starting from the downhill side of the property with the tallest and work up the hill with the shorter plants. Now I think I need to figure out the layout, and the water needs for this. Living in a desert kinda sucks! LOL
