Orchard Notes: May, 2024.
So…I’m caring for a few trees that have *NEVER* given fruit. I have three dead trees. I want pears.
Here are my notes for the spring status –
this chart is for the main orchard, facing south.

Cherry – alive with blossoms (this is a young tree) |
Cherry – has leaves but no blossoms. This tree has a massive clump of ornamental grass that I’d like to get rid of
|
Cherry – dead. |
|
Maybe Plum? Lots of leaves but no blossoms. I think that in five years I’ve gotten one plum
|
I don’t know what this tree is. But it has blossoms this year. |
Apricot. In 2023 we had crazy amounts of fruit, this year it had early blossoms but with the cold coming up may not have fruit |

1.Small tree, not so many blossoms this year. |
2.lots of blossoms, keep an eye on the irrigation |
3.This tree lost a lot of limbs last year. Irrigation is problematic, since the water tends to run into the dry beds. |
4.The best looking tree, plenty of blossoms. |
