recover until late at night. As a
result, under the drought con
ditions, the stoma tea are closed
ami the trees produce less sugars
during the daylight hours. The
leaves actually draw water from
the fruit," he said.
The carbohydrates needed to
sustain the tree over the winter
will be present in lower amounts
than normal since the tree did not
have the conditions needed to
produce the sugars, Greene said.
He emphasized that there is
always a certain amount of winter
injury incurred by susceptible fruit
trees, but he feels that this year the
situation may be especially severe.
He said apples trees, and

especially peach trees, are sen
sitive to fluctuations in winter
temperatures and even if the
county would have a mild winter,
the trees would be affected if the
temperature dipped too far below
zero on only one or two nights.
“An apple tree would do better at
a 20 degree daytime and zero
night-time temperature for the
entire winter,” he said, comparing
that to a very low night tem
perature and a moderate daytime
one. In addition, he continued,
bright sunshine coupled with 30 to
SO degree daytime temperatures
can be especially bad because the
sun can heat the bark of the tree as
much as 30 degrees above air
temperature.

Irrigating trees was a big ex
pense for growers this year, and
Greene said he feels there will be
more interest in trickle irrigation
since the county has experienced
such a dry season.
A main difference between
trickle irrigation and sprinkle or -r
overhead irrigation, he said, is in
the amount of water used. He said
about 27,000 gallons of water per
acre are needed to supply on-inch
of water on one acre using the
sprinkle method. This amount
would last about one week, he
noted, that compares to about 24
gallons of water a day needed to
irrigate one tree by trickle
irrigation.
