I bet George & Chuck loved all the jams, jellies, etc. I know you like the free fruit! I sure would. I offer fig preserves to gal I get figs from but, they just don't care for figs. They will eat the blackberry I make from the wild ones. Nice trade. Oh, gave them peach & some nectarine preserves, also. Fruits & sugar all leftover from demos. Almost like a neighbor giving you theirs Like to make it, just don't eat a lot of it. Rarely make toast.
Hmm, I will check with the VA division next week. I'd love a couple things but not 25 -- For some I could buy a nice specimen for not much more, ready to produce sooner. But, if free....I'm in. So, you could get those 25, pot up 22 of them and sell in a year for $5-10 each and come out ok. Just "nursery stock" A little side money. I love hazelnuts.
Had a small persimmon tree when I moved here, on the bank along the driveway to back of farm. Scraggly thing and I never paid it any mind. Then, one year it bore fruit. Nice. Next year man who farmed land behind me, cut it down as he "cleared the sides so his tractor could get through". I explained that was MY land, he was trespassing and I didn't give a rats butt if he EVER got through. Stay off. Don't cut or spray my land!! Raised cain a few more times and he wasn't seen after. Another guy farms it now, we have no issues and an understanding.
I wonder if other states' forestry dept has similar options
