My response----------
One adverse aspect of using any type of legume for an orchard ground
cover is its attraction of near all species of stink bugs. And this
population can become rapidly high and destructive to fruit crops. Adult
stinkbugs are also very difficult to control because of their very hard outer
shell or body.
Just an observation.
I hope everyone is having a great fruit year--------here we had near a
total wipeout due to a severe freeze during bloom.
