I assume that you have enough forests to provide you with timber, which means that you are probably looking for trees that produce something besides logs, such as maple syrup, nuts, or fruit. Yes?
Growing fruit trees from seed takes 5 to ten years at minimum.
There’s an easier way. What we need is a way to transplant young trees. You can do it with older trees too, but they take longer to recover and they don’t recover as well and you need heavier equipment because older trees weigh more, take up more space, and need to be transplanted with a larger root ball.
Young trees can produce fruit in as little as a year or two.
We also need map templates (not sure what the preferred term is) for orchards that have already been planted. Maybe they already exist, maybe not.
Edit: Next day I found an orchard. So yes, they are already there.
