I have no idea where I will plant all these trees,I guess after my yard is filled to capacity I will move on to my family's yards,lol. Been up potting this past week and still have more to go.

p.s. still looking for cddg and maltese falcon, I have some to trade.

It's a common problem. We might have to start terracing or a hanging garden like in Babylon. Worth every bite though.

Ryan, I would keep them in pots until you get a couple of harvest. Then you will have a much better idea of taste, productivity, etc. Then you will know which ones you HAVE to have in the yard, and which ones you would be willing to share with the kids.

Hi quackmaster,
I once read, that when starting an orchard, you should plant twice the number of trees and then remove the ones that perform poorly when the space gets full .
In the first years, the trees won't fill up the allocated space - and so you can easily do it in fact.
I just did that, and have young trees every 2 meters . In some years, I'll remove the bad ones, or trim them all to leave space for them all - In zone7 in open field, I don't expect to have big trees - all under 2,50 meters of height.

With figtrees, this means that in some years you'll have plenty of cuttings and root shoots, to start a new orchard if by that time you then have an opportunity to do so.
Else, you'll still be taking avantage of all the fruits being produced by those more trees ... Still a good plan , Or ?
How far from each over are your trees ? What have you planned ?

Looking good Ryan.........keep up the good work       Brian
