We've really struggled with fruit tree predators, finally this year fencing in the whole orchard not just a bit of it. You are wise to fence from the start.

I learned that we should fertilize well in May according to our state agriculture division.Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14064461401173108035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16366204.post-78500354978496537322019-06-30T09:58:07.841-08:002019-06-30T09:58:07.841-08:00Plan = PlantPlan = PlantReneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08739029410584701609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16366204.post-15194442634754933452019-06-30T09:57:54.466-08:002019-06-30T09:57:54.466-08:00I know with apple trees you need to plan multiple ...I know with apple trees you need to plan multiple hoping you get both a male and female tree.
