Matthew,
To approach this strictly from a mathematical perspective: The rule of thumb is
for row width to be 1.3 times the tree height for north/south oriented rows and
1.5 times the tree height for east/west oriented rows for sunlight penetration.
If we start with “short” spindle trees
I concur with Dennis' evaluation of Dr. Robinson's videos; this system has
forced even stubborn high-chill varieties to transition from vegetative
mode to fruiting mode in hot climates and the tropics.
I wanted to address Matthew's desire to keep the trees around 6' tall.
This sounds like it
Hi Art
There is no OBLR pheromone trap treatment threshold that I know of. As
Jon said, the traps are used for timing not threshold detection.
That said, and with a big buyer beware cautionary note that we really
can't extrapolate from one pest to another, I still find it informative
to
