My area (along the WI-IL border Zone 4b) has received several drenching
rains in November. Month total is 7.4 inches, so I'm not watering. Did a
lot of remedial pruning in early October, though, because my dwarf trees
went crazy and became standards.
First accumulating snow predicted for Saturday into Sunday. Finally!

I'm not sure what you consider upper Midwest, but the entire state of
Michigan at least has been plenty wet enough all summer and fall. Just
got 1.5 inches of rain yesterday and there is a flood advisory. I
don't have numbers like Jerry does, but I'd guess we're around 20%
over an average year on water. Luckily, the only time there was too
too much was in April.

Are you guys in the upper Midwest going to get out and water your orchardsHi Dan,
so you don't loose half of your trees this year?
Just asking...

Our YTD rain fall is nearly 49 inches with another month to go. Normal
annual rain fall here is about 42 inches. I just tiled part of my persimmon
orchard the first of this month. I checked the output of the 4 inch exit pipe
at
noon today and water was running out over 2 inches deep at the end. That is
a whole bunch of gallons per hour!!
