3 1/2 acres.  I already have like 15-20 'cultivated' trees on my property (ornamentals), and probably 100 or so 'wild' trees on the property, mostly ash, juniper, and hickory.

Just what kind of property do you have?  I mean, our house in Vancouver was huge, yet it was no where large enough to accommodate more than 1 or 2 trees. 
I'm interested to see your definition of huge... I understand you're from HK and your standards are probably a bit lower, but I don't have a big garden and there are like 7 fruit trees in my garden.

In the good part of Kentucky.
:hug: Thank you.  Yeah, tell the ignoramuses on here that not *all* of Kentucky is 'bad'.  :cool:

If his land was in HK instead of Kentucky. About 30 000 of your brothers could live on it.

I'm guessing that's about the same number we would plant.  Probably no more than a dozen.

Our house in Vancouver was over 3,000 sq. feet large.  The lot was, if I remember correctly, something like 33 metres by 120 or something.  Most of the land area was either occupied by the house or covered in concrete, so it did not have much space for vegetation.  The developer used every inch of space allowed under the planning laws to build as large a house as possible.  And as large a garage as possible.

I really don't have much idea how large an acre is.  Any property that uses this unit of measurement is automatically defined as gigantic.

I think the smallest lot you'll find for a stand alone house in NA is 1/4 acre.

My house in Massachusetts was on a 0.12 acre lot.  :(

Still sold for more than my house down here cost though.  :lmfao:

Voted cherry as I have a cherry tree in my garden. And there's enough for the birds and my family.

One section of land (one mile by one mile, or one square mile), has 640 acres.  A quarter-section (a half mile by a half mile) has 160.
