Ah the corn that grows on trees...acorns and chestnuts were referred to as this by early settlers. Good article thanks for sharing your experiential knowledge on this! I have planted some Bur/Gamble crosses on my place but lost most of them due to unusual summer heat . A couple survived and I'll plant more. Lost most of my chestnuts too. A great book on this is : Tree Crops: A Permanent Agriculture by J Russel Smith written in the 1930s
I found a scanned PDF copy of the book in the public domain at https://soilandhealth.org/wp-content/uploads/01aglibrary/010175.tree%20crops.pdf if anyone wants a copy.
Amazing. Thanks!
Awesome! I have a hard copy and it's really good. Yeah I figured it might be in the pubic domain because of its age.
I wonder what the chance of me finding an electronic version of the book is. I can no longer read printed books and need something I can blow up the size on my computer. Thank you for the information and I will see if I can find a copy.
