Thanks for the article Stone. I think there are some errors in it, however the information may be correct for the author's area. Here there are seed planted trees here, and squirrels do definitely crack the fruits and eat the seeds. The article gave me more inspiration to incorporate more of these in the hedgerows around my property. I am concerned about having trees that will sustain hurricane force winds, however the Osage Orange trees that are here at 2 00 years old do topple occasionally. I wouldn't want to be under one when it decides to lie down and rest.
