Care for Storm Damaged Trees
– Crop load is historically very light following a major storm, but heavy 2 years later (increases alternate bearing)
– Minimize nitrogen
50 lbs/ac max
Monitor K, P, Zn
– Cut back on water if no crop
No more than 50-60% full capacity with no crop load
Irrigation recommendations for young trees (<4 years)
April—3 hours once per week—45 gal/week
May—3 hours twice per week (M & F)—90 gal/week
June-Sept—3-4 hours watering time—one day on, two days off
With 1” rain, turn off irrigation for 3 days
