Hi Art;
Are you talking about total length of a row, or length between support
posts?

We had rows 2200 feet long between end anchors. 4 wires, 10' high with posts
spaced at 42', 3' deep. End posts were a larger diameter, 4' deep at about a
45° angle.
Wires and anchors were attached to a 4' long screw in steel anchor with 8
plate. Ground was basically flat.
No problems holding a
I had a guy ask a question yesterday for which I didn't have a good answer.
He had purchased peaches from another orchard and complained the peaches had
mold next to the pit. What he described was a white substance next to the
pit, not unusual in freestone peaches. At one time I read an
see this: It is called callus tissue (undifferentiated cells). It is not
a fungus, bacteria or other type of disease. It is naturally occurring, and
it is not harmful. It can be safely eaten along with the rest of the
peach.
Seems to me, that they could basically be as long as you want them to be. I
would calculate the fuel capacity of my tractors so that one doesn't run
out of fuel before getting back...

From what I have experienced, Mark, sounds like you are talking about callus
tissue that can appear around the pit. The tissue is not mold, fungus,
bacteria or the result of any type of disease. It is naturally occurring as
you say, and is entirely safe to eat along with the rest of the
Thanks Hugh. I knew it was natural, but couldn't remember exactly what it was.

I agree with your assumptions, Dave. We have over 200 rows of trees, about 1/3
being tall spindle. We build out trellises with 12' posts, typically 8 thick
posts (6 on shorter rows of 400' or less) leaving 4 feet in the ground.and 8
above with our top trellis wire being on top of the post at
We have rows over 1100 feet long but installed an 'H' brace at about 400' -
500' to add stability.

I have experienced what happens when rows go down and it isnt fun. Most
trees snap off at the graft union. And they take their neighbour with them
for a couple of hundred feet up the row. By this time of course you have all
of your annual costs into them but the harvest cost. Its a real mess.
Row length Kevin. We are at 30-35' between line posts.

Riverside,
Thanks Dennis,
I've seen mold from split/shattered pits. I cull split pits anyway (from the
shape). I didn't know that mold was harmless though.
Thanks,
Mark
