I always look forward to seeing what every one here is planting because lots of them i’ve either never heard of or will not physically see because I can’t grow it here. 
I’m in 7a and I feel this way any time someone posts anything about tropical / sub-tropical fruit like citrus, mangoes, pomegranates, longan fruit, etc…

Dax,
I don’t know if I mentioned, but last summer (2018) Clayton produced a decent crop after all. It may yet be a good producer (don’t have enough experience with this one yet - only 3 trees). One problem very problematic for me last summer on this one was that the fruit wanted to drop badly. The amount of drops was very frustrating. Very good flavor though.

Also going to plant 120 pines and red cedars. Most of my choices came from studying old posts on this site.

We decided we are going to remove a huge 18 year old Sycamore in our front yard, which will make room for some peaches. I have ordered an Indian free, Saturn, Redhaven and a Silver Logan. I figured I could squeeze a few more apples in the back, so I’m getting a Macoun, a Newtown Pippin and a Kerry Irish. I would love one more cherry, but my husband is of the opinion that some of our yard should be grass.

Good luck! Removing big trees is a chore!!

Thanks, this one is going to be a beast! I’m sad, we planted it as newlyweds the year we moved into the house. It provides an enormous amount of shade for our west facing house, but it lost a huge upright limb that narrowly missed taking out a neighbor’s fence and I worry about the root system affecting our sewer lines. We’ve been taking a large branch down a weekend when there has been good weather to take some bites out of it.

So many different varieties!
Are you planning to have U-Pick sale type of orchard? That is a lot of fruit trees.
Tony
Geez, I sure hope not, I’ve done my time in retail and I don’t relish the idea of dealing with the general public on my own property. My preference would be to sell wholesale to local markets, and feel out wholesaling to homebrewers. I have a lot of work to do to get the orchard site ready. My goal is to have a minimum of 3 of any variety. When I plant out the trees I’ll plant additional rootstock for any variety that currently has less than 3 trees and those will get grafted as bud wood / scion becomes available.

How many acres for this operation?
Twelve. I don’t presently expect to cover all 12 acres, and there has been brief consideration of putting some hop poles in, but that hasn’t been researched yet. I thought I posted a pic this fall of our work from last summer, but I can’t find it. We’ve cut and chipped just over 600 trees this past summer, once the rest are down, we’ll have a track-hoe pull the stumps.
