I've got quite a few females on my place. I think they're one of the coolest trees there is. I also had like a 3 cluster of females that died this year. Don't know if the last frost got them or what but they're toast fosho! I like to clear around them when possible to allow them to branch out and make a full canopy. Probably the best producer I have sits on a point and has a full canopy. It's loaded all the way to the lowest branches touching the ground
