So I am planning on building a house in the next 5 to 10 years on some land along a river. The problem is there is only trees along the east side. So I want to get a jump start and plant some trees, esspecially on the north side. There are a lot of deer around the area but I would enjoy them in the yard as well as any other critters. Each row will be 600 feet long and was thinking of planting 9 rows. I talked with a lady from the NRCS and this is what we came up with starting with the northern most row.
1) chokecherry and plum (alternating)
2) Apricot
3)Bur Oak
4) American Linden
5) Male Cottonwood (seedless)
6) Black Hills Spruce
7)Black Hills Spruce
8)Little Leaf Linden
9)Amur Maple
Any thoughts on the choices? Some I should add or remove?
