This is about a Santa Rosa plum and a Blenheim Apricot.

Planted same time; about 4-5 years ago. I assumed that at that age they would be living on ground water, but gardener told me contrary today! Horrified! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! Is he right?!

Plum is healthy-looking; well leafed-out. Apricot no; looks puny; suckers galore.

I remove; they return.



Went on-line but nothing relevant to my question. They discuss baby trees but don't talk about watering 4-5 years old.



This is So Calif coastal. Anybody Up Here or Down There offer any wisdom?

If you're in CA why do you sign Tx?

That's computerese short for "thanks".

Newsgroups are not Twitter.

The closest I've ever been to tweeting is feeding birds... I don't
text either... I don't use a cell phone. There are very few pay
phones nowadays so I broke down and got a Tracfone for emergencies
when I'm not home but in the past year I used it once for less than a
minute. I never turn it on unless I intend to use it, no one has the
number, I don't even know the number unless I check the bit of paper
it's written on in my case, I paid more than three times as much for
the case as I did for the under $10 Tracfone. I have a land line at
home but I rarely use it, mostly for calling businesses, like local
stores to check if they have something. I see no reason to waste my
time with inane chatting like I overhear... like WTF do I need to
phone someone to tell them I'm on my way, I'll be there in five
minutes, I'm in your drivewy, I'm ringing your bell, do you hear me
now? LOL Most of the conversations I overhear are definitely
psychotic. The only real use for cell phones is for cheating on ones
SO. I grew up with one rotary phone in the kitchen, there were no
private phone calls, my parents remained happily married for more than
50 years... nowadays the divorce rate is directly proportional to ones
cell phone minutes.
