In our 1-minute challenges we describe key almond, pistachio, prune, and walnut orchard tasks for the month of September.
On SacValleyOrchards.com (SVO) there is an article on walnut freeze (see the “How to prevent future damage” section). In walnut production – September is also a critical month for managing mold and for ethephon applications to either hasten or tighten up nut maturation. For a healthy orchard next spring, follow through on late season irrigation in your prune orchard. For other key September tasks in prunes see the management considerations on SVO.
