.... sometimes you might need to use a chemical herbicide in order to
control non native invasive plants ..... do not let the perfect be the enemy
of the good.

Xerces Society has some wonderful programs that you might find of some
good as per fruit production and ecological management of your lands.
Lots of good can come from planting biodiverse legumes, forbes, and grasses
between the fruit trees.

two other books that you might like:

1) The Hidden Life of Trees

b) Bringing Nature Home ..... Doug Tallamy

If you have any other ?s send me a pmail.
