Western Oregon | I put all my fruit trees up on re-bar trellis. Just 3/8" re-bar and T-post using zip ties. Just 5' high and 5 limbs spread out like a candle holder trimmed at 6'. Lets the breeze blow though and makes it easy to spray. Dormant, copper and fungicide sprays. 1 TBS baking soda and 1/2 tsp Castile soap in 1 gallon water raises the PH on the surface, making it difficult for fungi to thrive. I have several varieties of each fruit. Don't need a lot of each. Also keep all dead falls picked up, it harbors pests....James | |
