    :shock: I have a question for you.. driving up and down the state this weekend Jim and I saw a lot of Orchards and the trees were covered in plastic or netting. and we were wondering why ..... one section would be covered and the next not. We think they were fruit trees,,, but not sure since there were a lot of Almond orchards to.

    My best guess is that it is an attempt to protect against the psyllid wasp in the effort to prevent citrus greening, now if it pertains to almonds I would not dare to guess. I would love a few pictures if you get the chance next time....
