Thanks for this article! We have , what I call, a postage stamp Orchard. It is inhabited by 9 fruit trees- pear,peach, cherry, 2 apples, plum, an Asian x native cross persimmon and quince.We’ve practiced Stinzen Planten for 10 years in this 20x60 area. I was making out the fall bulb order when I ran across your piece. I do not mow that area until June. I will be interested to learn about other plants to add to the understory. I’m 71 years old and I try to learn something new every day. You filled that niche for me today!
It’s not all that amazing but it gives me great joy, the hundreds of minor bulb I’ve planted over the years. I had to cut down two trees that never lived up to their billing. I try to live out a quote that is attributed to Martin Luther”if I were to die tomorrow. I would plant a tree today.”
Thank you for sharing!

This is so cool Angela. It found another home on Grange Hall. I just cross posted it there. Check it out. Thank you!
