Thanks  for the comments!

If possible, it would make it a lot easier for us to  develop the article 
further if comments got added at the article itself as  well as here. 
(This'll be getting posted on a lot of mailing  lists.)

Thanks,
Simon

I am looking at planting dwarf hardy apricots and American hazelnut trees  (a 
smaller sized nut tree good for smaller lots).  I think an addendum on  nut 
trees would be useful.  I've heard of a "hickan" hybrid of pecan and  hickory 
that survives our climate and gives a reasonable nut crop, but don't  know of 
anyone who has grown them.
