Manitoba Maple is extremely easy to grow and super resilient

I’ve got a buddy looking to do something similar on old pasture land. He was kicking around the idea of planting a few acres of a hardy oak species like burr oak to make himself a little oak forest. It would take 100 years to reach its full potential but it is more of a legacy project for him, something he can pass down to the grandkids that they can remember him by.

If you have Netflix, have you watched "The Biggest Little Farm?" So inspiring!!

Of course, California's climate is different than ours, but the same basic principles apply.
This guy is following many of those same principles on his property in central Alberta with what looks like very good results.
