Help Plan my Orchard

You might make room in the orchard for more no spray or low spray fruit.

Persimmons, Mulberries, Jujube, CHE, goumi, some Pears work well no spray (some dont).

I have a difficult time getting apple trees to survive fireblight (here in southern TN) once they start blooming… resistent varieties are a must. Pest problems abound… unlikely to get nice clean fruit without a good spray program.

Same for peaches… oriental fruit moth … wormy peaches, brown rot… you have to combat those.

I grew peaches for several years no spray and got lots of good fruit early on… but then OFM showed up… then a few years later brown rot… It was sad… throwing away hundreds of peaches.

I replaced my peaches with no spray fruit.

Good Luck !
