Dry farm trees prove viable with deep planting and spacing
In early dry farming days, growers argued trees require soil depth and proper spacing to withstand drought.

Planting around 40 feet apart, with careful moisture management, yields durable orchards even with 8 to 20 inches of precipitation.
