I planted a dozen pecan and filbert trees on our property. The plan was to harvest the nuts and sell them at the local farmers’ market.

Based on their growth to date, I’ll have a double handfull to sell in about 25 years.

Ha ha! I'm doing the same with some apple trees. The only ones benefitting so far are the deer, who have killed 3 trees and nibbled all the lower branches off!

Try planting “Rosemary” around your trees. The deer hate it, won’t eat it, and supposedly won’t go through it. Additionally, you’ll have a supply of an fragrant herb for culinary use.
