One problem with planting, any type of tree, in the woods, is that rabbits and deer will strip away the bark. I planted a mulberry tree due to the cold growing seasons in the north. I tied a stove pipe at the roots after banding it around the tree. Because stove pipe is grey and reflects light, I painted it green and added branches to it to try to make it blend in. The first time I didn't use the stove pipe, some animal had dragged that fruit tree right out of the ground. The mulberry tree was still entact the next summer so it worked.
