We were putting the nut trees in the front yard, but couldn’t ever get any of them to grow. We have tried all sorts of flowers and shrubs over the years too. Nothing ever surivives.
I am thinking we should try some Paw Paws. They are native to Missouri, and I thought they might actually survive. I have never tasted the fruit, though. They say it tastes like a banana. I’d kinda like to try the fruit and make sure I like it first though.
I think pawpaws are the one i’ve heard smells like dead animals when it blooms. You might verify that because I can’t remember for certain. There was one tree we considered planting in our back yard but nixed because of smell. No sense making enemies of the neighbors.
