Hello from India :)

But you never pollard the longer growing species, only prune right? I have a plan to put 2 maples in one of my rows, where there are mostly peaches planted also this year, but I am afraid that they will shade everything growing behind them and not give enough sun to the peaches. So I just plan to cut them for biomass until peaches grow really tall, then I could let them become full grown. What do you think about that? I also have to add that my rows are on a slope, and this row in one of the most bottom ones. Great videos guys!

Hay un par de nueces (árboles) que podría interesarles probar, Brosimum alicastrum y Caryodendron orinocense. También el Sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis), una trepadora.

So if I understand correctly: of those three wood trees, not all of them will survive, since they are planted too densely for three long-term trees to simultaneously grow to maturity? But you grow them from seed so that they naturally select their optimal location?
