I have enjoyed all the great ideas for the tree that I wish to plant. One thing I didn't mention is that I wish to pick a tree that will have a long life. I like the idea of planting something that has a chance of lasting for generations. If I go with a Butternut x Heartnut cross should it be a seedling or grafted cultivar? I have to say that Kentucky Coffeetree and Amur Corktree are both still in the running! Attached is a butternut x heartnut cross that I planted as a seedling several years ago. This tree has really started to put on some nice growth. The male flowers are very attractive in the spring and the foliage is great. |
