Actually, I see by your comment that I probably mislead some of you. That orchard was in 1977 when I was still two years away from even hearing about permaculture, and it was on rented land where the orchard management was controlled by the owner-- a UC Riverside ecologist-- and I just did the work and got half of the crop.

But we did grow many kinds of citrus, bunch grapes, apricots, peaches, pomegranates, and figs without any spraying-- all with Southern California's "limitless" supply of water from the far away mountains. The trees didn't seem to mind 105˚ at all.

Bob,

Orcharding with only 4" of rain, 100 deg, in sandy soil is quite impressive.
What were you growing that could withstand that kind of climate? Did it
freeze there in the winter?

Sincerely,

Marjory
