Production planning estimate

Plan around lb per mature tree per year

A starting estimate is 60 lb per mature tree per year. That means one tree is a reasonable first unit to plan for, then adjust for your climate, practices, and household demand.

Space guideline

80 sq ft per tree

Starting plan

— trees

Planning note: Blooms very early in spring, which makes the flowers vulnerable to late frost in marginal zones.
