Hey Wes, I thought you might be interested in a couple suggestions for your fruit orchard if you haven't considered them already. One is the American persimmon. A native tree that should grow in zone 5a but has both male and female trees, though some are supposedly self pollinating. The other is the American plum, also a native that grows even in zone 3 and while self pollinating, produces better with others. Both have tasty fruit, like full sun and slightly acidic soil. Just thought you might be interested. Thanks by the way for subscribing to my channel, and I look forward to your future videos. 🙂

Thank you for the suggestion! I actually just purchased stratified persimmon seeds this week and have 4 seedlings persimmon trees I purchased over the winter. I will do more research on the American plum, sounds like it would fit in perfectly for me. Thanks for the support!

@@WesTheGrower Glad to be of service. I also plant several other natives in my area...American ginseng, ramps, maypops, bladdernut and hazelnuts to name a few. 🙂
