Food Plots Fruit trees???

[PillsburyDoughboy]

So the 50 acres next to mine was completely filled with 15 year old cedar trees. A couple from out of town purchased the land and stripped every one of them off and are in the process of planting fruit trees.

My question is this.

How long does it take for a fruit tree to start producing?

Typically what does this do for the genetics of the deer population over the next years?

I'm guessing since my land is mostly hardwoods my land is going to be. The primary bedding ground now. It has served as the primary feeding area as it was one of the last stands around with any size able nut producing trees.

OPINIONS..?

Cedar trees spread disease to fruit trees.

This will be interesting

With them stripping off all the trees how will that effect the fruit trees? I mean ALL the trees were cut down to the stump and removed whole!

Will do nothing for genetics,fruitt could start producing in a couple years,but will probably take at
least 5 to 8 years till they are producing enough to become a real deer draw.

I doubt open hard woods will be the primary bedding area,maybe,but they will find some thick stuff somewhere I bet
