“In layers. The ones I did had seven. They all work in tandem with one another—a symbiotic relationship.” They started making their way toward the house, and Nick glanced at the forest tree line in the distance. “So, I’m assuming one of the layers is the tall trees.” “Right. It’s considered the canopy and, ideally, consists of large fruit and nut trees. On the farm I worked with, they had a lot of black walnut and black locust trees that served as the tall tree layer. The next layer would be the low tree layer—we had dwarf and semi-dwarf apple trees, among others. The third layer is the shrub layer.”
