Day to day observations of almond farming in the central valley of California.
Wednesday, May 16, 2012
Here are our young Candycot trees. They are trained to a "V" trellis. Growing the limbs at just the right angle increases fruitfulness and assures penetration of sunlight for even ripening and better fruit color. Like almonds, Candycots are not self fertile and so we plant two varieties together to pollinate one another. In this orchard, Anya and Yulia are planted in alternating rows. Anya leaves are a darker green and the trees are a little less vigorous.
