This is probably a topic I know a lot more about than both the Native Grasses and Women....
I have many Persimmon Trees on my land and Apple trees. I put much of the info on my website (which is just for fun of course) on where I got them, cost, care, etc. Persimmons are cheap (maybe $1 a tree), apples are production grade, grafted trees (I grafted some myself. the apple pictures stink (sorry)- the fence turned out way better than actually showing you the awesome 8' trees in the picture. Cause the Persimmons die at a far higher rate, they are much cheaper and I buy so many- I either do tree tubes (after 1 year to see which ones lived) or nothing, I buy 200-300 and just HOPE 25 make it to maturity. Apple trees on other hand are $7 a tree, almost all make it and are 6' the 1st year (almost 1" in diameter). The pictures are of 2 year old persimmon (started from seedling) and 2 growing seasons on grafted apple trees.

Apple trees (surrounded by new CP-25 that's doing very well for being so young! (sorry- pictures are more like Apple tree fence-I'll get more/better pics!)...
