I live in the south on the Mississippi River Delta. We have abundant cropland and tons of persimmon and oak on all of the properties I hunt. Recently we put a couple of hundred acres into CRP on one of our farms. There are no apple trees anywhere in this part of the world and I would like to give them a try. Do ya'll think this is a good idea? Are they "deer magnets" like I have read? What varieties, etc. do I need? We have usually mild winters (lows down to 20-25 a couple nights out of the year) but brutally hot summers (can hit hundreds). Our rainfall is 50-60 inches a year.
