Owner's comments
This is in a new 3 year old orchard with cherry and plum trees. It is planted over a new type of septic field that allows for planting between the septic drain rows. Thus the tree gets extra "gray" water during the dry summer months. The orchard is 150' from the sea.Season records for this tree
