Not necessarily your favourite fruit to eat, but what is/are your favourite fruit tree(s) to grow based on survival rate, fruit yield, ease of maintenance, ease of harvest, grass-killing prowess, and any other combination of factors? What is/are your least favourite? If you have photos or diagrams to illustrate your point, even better!
(If you provide your region and/or Köppen-Geiger or Trewartha climate zone, it will help others to know what to plant or what to avoid!)
Just so you know, being planted near black walnut trees also makes things grow slower. But yeah, I imagine that Maine would depress just about any tree…
walnut is overhyped juglone can prevent seed germination but it has little effect on plants over seedling stage. I have a massive shade garden under my Juglans Californica, and there’s plenty of mustard and grass growing under wild ones, so even the seed germination thing isn’t 100%.
I did not say they are planted near the black walnut trees. The black walnuts are isolated from everything else I plan on planting. I’m aware of their natural suppression method.
