\nIn the backyard we planted butternuts, heartnuts, and carpatian walnut onthe southeast where there was already a neighboring presence of Black Walnut(Juglans nigra) which produces a toxic element known as Juglone. Therefore,we used a pattern which works in the presence of walnut family plants: amulberry and locust barrier. West of the grafted mulberry and Black Locusts,we planted pawpaws, a pear, brambles and grapes.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the west side of the house we were aiming for a mock-fence or hedge pattern: grape trellis, rugosa rose, and two serviceberries.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the front we planted an Beauty Plum, a pair of apples (Jonafree and Redfree), three Manchurian Apricots, and a peach. The Plum on the side of thedriveway was surrounded by Red Gooseberries.<\/span>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/td>\nIn 2004<\/a> we added two asian pear to the now crowded back yard, as well assome arapaho blackberries, and a small patch of strawberries. To the east ofthe driveway we added a shiro plum for pollenation of the beauty plum planedin 2003, and a couple of currants were added from divisions in town.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
