Today was the Fruit Field day at the There was some major discussion of table
grapes in By the time I got to the tables of
peaches there was not much left to taste and I was getting pretty full even
going one grape at a time. There were LOTS!!! And there were plums,
pluots, nectarines, apples Mulberries. Very interesting presentation on
size and soluables and how to do what by use of water and nutrients to apples.
BTW this irrigation system uses 60% less water than the sprinkler emitters.
It is 4 inches underground 1 foot either side of the tree or vine. They do
a really interesting thing watering one side of the apple tree fully for 2
weeks and starving the other side then alternating to increase sugars. Saw figs, jujube, mulberry, Asian
persimmon, Asian pears, quince, walnuts and almonds. Oh and the way they
are now growing the grapes is vey neat and shady to walk under. I forget
which varieties but they had huge bunches of grapes. They showed a 9
pounder but said they had one that went 11 pounds. Gorgeous. Naomi "Few people are capable of expressing
