RE: Adding fruit trees to the deer food plot area

in Homesteading2 months ago

Preparing the 'table' for the red deer and planting young fruit trees at the same time - I'm not quite sure if you'll really like the result after a couple of visits. Especially as I have noticed that the red deer always bring a wild boar with them.
Peach trees are relatively "short-lived". Contrary to pears and plums. So my preference is for the vineyard peach. It is an old variety that is hardy and has plenty of varieties. That's why every year I put two or three peach stones in the ground and let myself be surprised by the variety that develops. The first small harvest is to be expected after four years at the latest.

Hah well that is why I plan on hunting them... As for boars they have not reached this far north yet.

But they could eventually.

Ah yeah they are only good for around 10 years it would seem, sad but true. I will probably start another half way through its life.

I used to have a peach tree, so it will be nice to have fruit again in a few years.
