I was thinking a pair trees, apple trees, persimmon trees, and maybe peach trees!! Modern day Johnny Appleseed are ya? Figured it would help out all around.. Deer can eat and it would help soil

I cage all of mine as they are expensive deer rub trees. Trees sleep then creep then leap in growth most of the time depending on soil. So you will see fruit get better year 4 or 5.

We had chinkapin nuts and chestnuts planted at one time and deer wouldn't touch them. The sharp outside hull could have caused them not want to eat them.
