Yeah. Killing plants is hard.

@bigpawbullets This winter I took out two fruit trees that were huge disappointments, they were just not profucing after several years and were not the best for my spot. It was a major procrastination problem (5 years of "let's just see if it does OK this year" ) for me.

I'm in good company then. We inherited 4 apple trees on this property the builder put on the old farm treeline. Maybe, 2 hours a day of sun. Never have they produced an apple. But the squirrels like to build nests in them. For 13 years I've told myself to simply cut them down. Still there.

@bigpawbullets Apple makes a good smoking wood, motivation. When cotton root rot got my apples, I cut down them down and made smoking wood out of them.

@glennlab
Well, I don't smoke meat or fish. But that's an excellent suggestion. I'll eventually cut them down, and dry the wood for projects. It actually makes a very durable turned fishing lure body.

@bigpawbullets For me, it depends on which ones.

I took it to mean all other plants should be indigenous. Won't have very many veggies otherwise.

We grow some vegetables.
And lots of strawberries.
This food forest thing is more like returning the land to a semi natural habitat and growing native foods and plants for other uses. I think the neighbors might freak. But then, they're used to the "strange old couple" at the end of the cul-de-sac.
