Jersey?
Just remember the reason Al may have not..."seen any fruits" is because he is in some kind of climatic climax zone, where as long as they allow him to use water. . his trees grow like weed in Oregon.
Highly useful stuff that has to be well thought out to adapt for ourselves.
In my 7 years of rookieness...(a good average gauge)
I've been noting Al's growing season to be about 2 or 3 years longer than mine.
It's like Dog years.
If I ever get deciduous trees to grow well...which may be this year! That might reduce to one or 2....
But its this reason that we can't do the same things as Al. It is not just a "longer growing season" its a season that takes our trees 2 years.
Winter in between those 2 years, and the simple fact that dormancy happens...
That's why we must be careful.
It depends....
But it will always boil down to a different finish.
If only the size of cuts we can heal in one year.
