Nice. How many chestnut trees on the property? Would you prefer more?

Have you ever tried medlars?

No, I never did plant any of those. There is no reason that I wouldn't plant them but just never got into them.

All are doing fine except for Sweet November which died for some reason. However, they are still young and none have given significant crops. Big Dog really gave some nice fruit last year, and this year I liked the looks of the fruit a lot on Whole Season Crab. The fruit was crabapple sized but didn’t dry up into mummies like others I have seen. I had two big nice Advent pears and the hornets got the biggest one. I pulled the other one and have it in my basement to eat soon.
In my area it usually take about 6 years to see any significant fruiting. That’s exactly how long it took my three best apples, so I need to be patient.

These Prok persimmons are as big as small apples and the taste is incredible.

No, everything is grown together, but attention is given to sunlight requirements of each species. For instance, a persimmon has more shade tolerance than an apple tree, but neither has the tolerance of Paw Paw.

Kieffer in a spot with better than average soil and good moisture.

I took note of how beautiful these two were today when I passed by. First pic is Ed’s Crazy in full bloom and second is Whole Season Crab about 20 feet away. Both planted fall of 2021. If the drop times are good for me, I will be excited about these.
Those red leaves and blooms are insane looking.
PS - both of these are supposed to have a very extended drop time. We shall see.

Thanks. If we don't get a late freeze, I should have a lot of new things to report in this thread this year.

We grafted 12 rootstocks yesterday to: our favorite apple tree at the house that I don't remember what it is 
, enterprise, and liberty scions. I'm hoping we get some growth, Dawna did most of the knife work, she's much better at it than me. The “house tree” is putting on blooms now, Dawna sent me the pic, she's a fan of closeups. lol
