Checked that out just now, it said 1/2" of rain or more yesterday on my place.
This lines up with what I garnered from some rain gauges back there also.
Post from 2019 on here.
"The coons were not easy on my downy serviceberry when they had ripe fruit. They snapped several limbs on this one tree. I call these plantings the shrub cocktail: Downy Serviceberry, chokeberry and hazelnuts."
Snapped serviceberry limb and hazelnuts.
Chokeberry...
They're great and a big hit with the wildlife.
I've had troubles with the coons breaking limbs on my farm from some that I've planted.
10/10 would recommend them!! Deer browse them heavily also.
The fall color of those trees is truly spectacular. Red, yellow or orange is the variance.
I worked with a neighbor and shot 20 does a year off 430 acres over a 3 year span...I couldn't say that I saw a difference in deer after that stretch.
As previously stated, there are TONS of variables for a given property to hit that sweet spot in harvest #'s.
Your spot looks like a good location to put up a purple martin/swallow house or something along those lines to help combat the Japanese beetles.
I'm running into the same problem for apples/cherries at my house. I've been using the traps to catch a 5-gallon bucket full the past couple years...
The MM 111 rootstock came from 39th Parallel Nursery and the Lost Apple Project is where you can order scions from in the spring. The project is on Facebook, so you can get notified when the sale is open there.

These antique varieties can get addicting!!
Selected a few more desert apple varieties that were grafted this year along with others from previous years.
