Thinking of planting almonds in a high boron setting? Picking the right rootstock will be key to your success. Join me July 13th to compare rootstocks with your own eyes at my Almond Boron Rootstock Trial. More info at sacvalleyorchards.com/event/almond-b…

Shared a decade of data yesterday. Ag&Natural Resources UCDavisPlants California Almonds and grower collaborators all working together informing management decisions that mean literally millions of $ of difference for local rural ag economies. I couldn’t be prouder of this collaboration. Coop Ext FTW.

With frost in next week's forecast, important to read up on recent a Emergency Use approved for a Bacterial Blast management material. sacvalleyorchards.com/almonds/foliar… Franz Niederholzer Luke Milliron Phoebe Gordon Kat Jarvis-Shean

With frost in the forecast for Wed-Friday and no rain the past two months, soil moisture is key! Consider pre-irrigation with a short shot now (2-3 days ahead of frost) for warmer orchards. AVOID standing water. If you have solid set irrigation - consider active frost protection.

This week on the pod, I discuss Kat Jarvis-Shean's research on the effect climate change may have on walnuts. She shares her cool experimental setup to reduce chill accumulation in walnuts planted *in the ground* and some preliminary results: Luke Milliron growingthevalleypodcast.com/podcastfeed/20…
