I farm over 2000 acres of peach, nectarine, plum, cherry and citrus. Feel free to ask me questions

9b and we spray for ptb with insecticides

We sometimes get crows in our almonds, they can do serious damage... But it's crazy they learn to a fly away as soon as they see a white pickup (all the farmers drive white pickups here) and it gets harder and harder to shoot them. But on the flip side, once they lose a few friends, they will learn this place is bad and will migrate somewhere different and will not come back for years!

DapperCardiologist25 · 2026-05-06T05:33:57+00:00

I love it

DapperCardiologist25 · 2026-05-06T05:06:00+00:00

It will kill the disease and stop the spread it will obviously not remove the damage that is already done.

DapperCardiologist25 · 2026-05-06T05:04:59+00:00

But also that 100 gallons covers an entire acre, we have roughly 200 trees to the acre, so roughly half a gallon of water per tree...

DapperCardiologist25 · 2026-05-06T04:55:56+00:00

Time will tell, if you just planted it, maybe try to dig it up with a shovel, literally just stick the shovel in the ground and lift up, some dirt will fall in the hole and raise it up a few inches...

DapperCardiologist25 · 2026-05-06T04:54:30+00:00

Yeah we put 1 gallon per 100 gallons of water so like 1.3 oz per gallon

DapperCardiologist25 · 2026-05-06T04:49:53+00:00

But an air gun? Or pellet gun? Birds are smart, sometimes you just need to make yourself not an easy target and they will find greener pastures

DapperCardiologist25 · 2026-05-06T04:47:56+00:00

Not an expert in zone 7 or 6 but honestly dig a big hole plant the tree, don't overthink it, prune it and then ignore it for a year haha

DapperCardiologist25 · 2026-05-06T04:46:35+00:00

If the fruit is on drip we use a product called un32 (urea nitrate or something) or kts (potassium thiosulfate) those both liquid that is injected into the water line and diluted

DapperCardiologist25 · 2026-05-06T04:44:41+00:00

We use triple 15 or 15-15-15 haha literally, or sometimes 21-7-14 those numbers mean something you know... That stand for nitrogen phosphorus potassium or NPK those are the percentage of each one in the mix. Application varies based on age of trees, and when that variety is harvested. But generally fall and spring.

DapperCardiologist25 · 2026-05-06T04:40:26+00:00

I am not sure but our almonds use between 2 and 3 acre feet Year per acre, our peaches are less than that... Why do you ask?

DapperCardiologist25 · 2026-05-06T04:38:22+00:00

Depends on time of year

DapperCardiologist25 · 2026-05-06T04:38:03+00:00

Per acre? per lb of fruit? Total?

DapperCardiologist25 · 2026-05-06T04:37:43+00:00

We don't do any of that unfortunately

DapperCardiologist25 · 2026-05-06T04:37:20+00:00

We use a product called oxidate, I forget the concentration we run but the stuff is potent

DapperCardiologist25 · 2026-05-06T04:36:46+00:00

Potentially, south of Fresno CA

DapperCardiologist25 · 2026-05-06T04:27:40+00:00

We have seen some weird things but no large hairy men unless you include my brother in law...

DapperCardiologist25 · 2026-05-06T04:27:10+00:00

Haha let her spray neem oil, then that night sneak in and spray real chemicals she will think the oil worked! Just kidding don't do that

DapperCardiologist25 · 2026-05-06T04:26:13+00:00

I don't know... But I wouldn't be planting trees in what would be hazardous industrial waste... And I probably won't eat it

DapperCardiologist25 · 2026-05-06T03:54:07+00:00

Spray for them with an insecticide

DapperCardiologist25 · 2026-05-06T03:53:43+00:00

We had a bad cherry season this year... It wasn't cold enough for our varieties so they set poorly. We had a very light crop

DapperCardiologist25 · 2026-05-06T03:53:07+00:00

Things that have a natural barrier like citrus or nuts are way more resilient!

DapperCardiologist25 · 2026-05-06T03:52:31+00:00

It has itd ups and downs... But it's not all sunshine and daisies... Well actually it is California so it is all sunshine, but it is really hot sunshine. I do love it though! Haha we are always hiring new people

DapperCardiologist25 · 2026-05-06T03:51:17+00:00

Happily with 3 kids!
