Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Help Help with Tree Watering System

KDO:

Thanks! That helps a bunch. I agree, 3x week watering would be the best for them.

I don't know what to replace them with. The few that died were duplicates of what I had, plus I don't think the apricot tree made it either. I tried apricot trees 2 or 3 times and they didn't seem to do so well. I seem to have better luck with apples/pears than stone fruit trees, although the peaches did well last year. I was spoiled living in So. Cal. Fig and persimmon trees liked the climate, and so did avocado's. I had a few citrus trees as well, plus one apricot tree that would be loaded every year.

I've got a couple of cherry trees, a 2-3 pear trees, 2-3 peach trees, and the rest are different varities of apple. Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, Scarlet, Wolf River, Honey Gold, JonaGold; I don't have a Gala. There was one apple tree here by the house when I bought the place and the owners couldn't tell me what kind it was. It stays green, and is ripe by the 3rd week of August. All the fruit should be picked no later than the first week of Sept, or it goes bad. Semi-Dwarf. The trunk is about 8" diameter.
