A couple more days and it\u2019s March, in which starts spring. But before we move on, I\u2019ve pulled three lessons from the past winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

1. Consequences of 28 degrees<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The coldest night of this 2021-2022 winter in Southern California just passed, on February 23-24. My yard\u2019s weather station dropped to 28.2 degrees. What were the consequences? The lower part of my yard was covered in frost, including the encelia californica flowers above. Most of my vegetables were also covered in ice crystals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>

Most of these vegetables weren\u2019t damaged, however. The lettuce, brassicas, peas, carrots, onions, garlic, parsely, cilantro, beets, parsnips, and spinach in my garden did not care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Potatoes couldn\u2019t handle it though. Potato foliage turned to brown mush, which is why it\u2019s best in colder locations like mine to plant potatoes in February but not have them up and growing earlier in winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No damage was done to citrus by a drop to 28 degrees, except that succulent new growth on one lemon rootstock was partially melted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some avocados had leaf mottling and burning of some new leaves and some emerging flowers, but fruit was all unharmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I share this lesson despite knowing that most of you did not experience temperatures so low in your garden because you might like to know what will happen if you ever do — and what won’t<\/em> happen so you’re not unnecessarily frightened if you ever see a forecast for 28 degrees at your place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2. Hass did not get enough water<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is in winter that you judge your previous summer\u2019s watering of avocado trees. As I look at my avocado trees, the watering was sufficient on most (as judged by the amount of brown on leaves), but it is downright painful to look at this Hass tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>

Throughout summer it looked fine and I thought I had been watering it enough. Clearly, I was wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The challenge with this particular tree is that it is triangulated by a large live oak tree, a large Valencia orange tree, and a large grapevine. All three of these large plants have expansive, strong root systems that have invaded the territory of the Hass and steal some of the water I apply under it. I know this because I have dug around and found the roots of these plants under the Hass. It has been happening for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further, I noticed this last summer how much the grapevine by the Hass grew compared to other grapevines in the yard. Here is a photo showing the grapevines in July. The farthest vine is the one next to the Hass tree. Note its mass of growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>

The oak near the Hass likewise looks healthier than other oaks in the yard and produced an abundance of acorns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>

To pour salt in the wound of this Hass tree, my chickens\u2019 favorite place to hang out is under the its canopy where they continually scratch and damage the avocado\u2019s shallow roots. (Oaks, oranges, and grapes all root more deeply by comparison.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do I do now? I already cut down the grapevine. I pruned the oak a bit, but that’s all I will do to that tree; I prize this big oak more than the Hass tree, frankly. I plan to water the orange tree more. And this coming spring-summer-fall I will water the Hass with more volume and over a broader area. Lastly, I\u2019m going to add some netting under the Hass tree so that the chickens can\u2019t scratch and damage its roots as much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can’t wait to see how effective these remedies are. Look forward to seeing how the Hass looks next February compared to now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

3. Early chill matters most<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know that certain deciduous fruit trees that we grow in Southern California don\u2019t flower and fruit well if our winter weather is too warm. (They need “chill hours.”) So we might expect poor performances from these trees this year since January through mid-February saw daytime temps mostly in the 70s and nighttime temps mild too, not feeling like a chilly winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

January through mid-February, too, had only 0.15 inches of rain at my place. I\u2019m sure yours was similarly dry. It was a stretch of very comfortable gardening weather, not the kind of weather that you\u2019d think would encourage trees to go dormant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, here in late February trees are beginning to bloom well \u2013 not phenomenally well, but well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Satisfactory bloom on a branch of Candy Heart pluerry.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why? Recall October, November, and December. We came down from summer fast. Our first rain was at the very beginning of October, on October 4. And from there we never had a fall heat wave. Even though November was dry, it wasn\u2019t too warm, and then December was full of storms (and frost in my yard). December ended with 6.5 inches of rain, well above average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So this year\u2019s weather pattern seems to confirm the idea that cool weather in late fall and early winter is what deciduous fruit trees need in order to flower and fruit well more than continual cold weather through the middle and end of winter. In other words, how we enter winter seems to determine more in this regard compared to how we exit winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(For comparison, see my observations of trees after a winter that started dry and warm in \u201cEffects of a warm and wacky winter on deciduous fruit trees.\u201d<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Also see observations of trees during a consistently cool winter in \u201cMessages from your deciduous fruit trees after the chilly winter.\u201d<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s always more to learn out there. I love keeping my eyes open and following along with what nature has to teach us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
