That sounds fantastic! Nothing better than morning sunrise, coffee, and birds a chirpin’ while you sit back and take it all in. Enjoy and congrats!

I notice that not that many fruit addicts are growing honeyberries. (Haskaps). We freeze up gallons of them each year and enjoy them in flips and on oatmeal year round. We can’t grow citrus, peaches, persimmons, pecans, figs and other tropical fruits, but honeyberries love it here in northern Wisconsin.

We do, but what would the lists look like if even all berry bushes were included. There’s a line and then there’s a line…

How many fruit trees do I have: not enough.

Is Chenango short for something? I know Geneva produced a number of apples named after NY counties, including Chenango, but I don’t know of anyone still growing Chenango, and even Geneva doesn’t have them growing any longer.

More than I could possibly count
Blessed with hundreds of pecan and hundreds of persimmon volunteers on my place. I’ve grafted dozens of persimmon varieties and 8 of 10 varieties of pecan all over my 33 acres. Too many to track and lost track of takes and fails.
Plus 8 varieties of jujubes, 10 varieties muscadine, mulberry, black walnut, figs, blackberry, boysenberry, fejoa, blueberry, pawpaw, 2 pear tree with dozens of varieties grafted to them, plum, elderberry, …
I know I’ve forgotten some
Yes I have a problem

Is it the same as Chenango Strawberry? Supposedly from 1850s NY, maybe brought in from CT. Weird shape, may have a strawberry aroma or may just be called that because it gets a red/pink blush. I haven’t seen one in person.

I have around 60 trees now that are mostly apples. The majority of trees have multiple varieties, with about 200 in all.
I added a fifth row this year, including three trios of BUD9 trees. I also have a section of around ten cordon espaliered apples which have bloomed for the first time. Several were pollinated and those apples are looking good.

I have several chenango strawberry grafts and the first apples this year. Even at this early stage, the stretched shape is evident. I’m looking forward to tasting them!

so 45+ fruiting perennials. Apples didn’t flower this year, and something ate all but 4 of my pears and basically all of my strawberries so I will be mostly eating raspberries, alpine strawberries (which don’t seem to be bothered by rabbits), peaches, and maybe some figs this year. I am sure something will come for them too though… Most of these plants are pretty new, so production has not been anything yet really, but I am already learning so much. Definitely an amateur hobby backyard orchard grower

Impressive!
Have you thought about trying other fruits?
Wow! Great collection.
Are you happy with all the varieties of figs. Never heard of many of them.
You are lucky to inherit all that fruit!
Why do you grow figs in pots in your zone? Or are pots temporary?
I’ve got numerous raspberries and blackberries, wild and tame. Loads of black and choke cherries. Wild gooseberries galore. A few domestic blueberries. I’m trialing a few persimmon seedlings from Blue Hill nursery, but I doubt they survive long term.
I have very little interest in growing stuff that can’t survive winters here. I’ve considered honeyberries a few times, but I’ve read an awful lot of conflicting reports on how “good” they are for eating.
Push comes to shove, my main interests are pears, apples, and crabapples.
No volunteers here. Maybe 1 American persimmon I saw on a trail a decade ago. If someone does not plant it, then nothing!
