In the Spring of 1991, three seedlings of Hails Hardy Almonds, three seedlings of English Walnuts, and four Chinese Chestnuts were planted. All seedlings were still alive in 1992. In 1993, all died except the three Almonds that turned out to be Peach trees (marked wrong from the nursery). Three Peach trees were still alive as of 1999. In 1995, one tree produced very small peaches because they were not grafted. In 1996, they did not produce any peaches. In 1997, they produced some peaches. In 1998, no peaches were produced. In 1999, two trees produced peaches; one was small and the other larger and free of stones.

In the Fall of 1991, 30 Burl Oak seeds were planted. Twenty-six came up in 1992. As of the Spring of 1995, 20 are still alive.

In the Fall of 1992, nine English Walnut seeds were planted. Six came up in 1993. As of 1995, five are still alive.

In the Fall of 1992, nine Filbert and Nutsor Hazelnut seeds were planted. Eight came up in 1993. As of 1995, seven are still alive.

In the Fall of 1992, nine Chinese Chestnut seeds were planted and never showed.

In the Spring of 1993, 22 seedlings of Chinese Chestnuts from Raymond Cornell, each two feet tall, were planted. All are still alive.

In the Spring of 1996, 14 seedlings from a school classmate were put in pots for planting in the Spring of 1997. Eleven were alive when planted in Spring, 1997. In the Spring of 1998, nine were still alive, along with three of the Raymond Cornell group.

In 1998 and 1999, the Hazelnuts had flowers. A drought that summer caused the trees to lay dormant but they flowered in the Fall.

In 1998, three semi-dwarfed hybrid Apple trees, three Liberty trees, and three Freedom trees were planted. These trees are disease resistant and were still alive as of 1999.

In 1996, six more Apple trees; two are four-on-one tree called Antique Apple and the other is four-on-one Modern Apple (four all high resistance disease); one Liberty, one Freedom, one Mac Free and one Jona Free Apple. As of 1999, we have 17 Burl Oaks still living, half very healthy and half very small, and seven Hazelnut or Filbert still living and in good shape although they have not yet produced nuts.

As of 1999, there are 12 Chinese Chestnuts living and in fair shape (the only problem is keeping deer away from them). In 1999, we have two English Walnuts living, one healthy and one not so healthy. In 1999, three Peach trees are still living. Two (non-grafted trees) had peaches on them, which were very small and sweet. The others are bigger, freestone, and good eating. In 1998, trimming was started on the older Apple trees and some produced plenty of apples.

In 1999, more trimming of the older Apple trees which had much success as of the Fall. In the Fall of 1999, we had a total of 12 Chinese Chestnuts, 17 Burl Oaks, 7 Hazelnuts or Filberts, 3 Peaches, 2 English Walnuts and 12 Apple trees. There were a total of 53 trees.

In 2000, six Apple trees (Northern Spy, Criterion, Mutsu, Mac Free, Breaburn and Gala) and two Almond trees were planted. Older apple trees did not have as many apples as last year. The first Apple trees planted in 1998 had a very good setting of apples in early Spring but then fell off, as the trees are still too young. The Hazelnut trees showed first nuts in June and the Burl Oaks had nuts on them as well.

As of 2000, Peach trees had some good peaches in August. In September, a few Hazelnuts were found but the Burl Oaks did not keep their nuts. Apple trees that bore fruit in the Spring had six apples that grew well. The Apple trees are in fair shape.
