Fruit Tree Happenings and Summer Care

Fruit trees may drop small, undeveloped fruit in June. Finding a number of small fruits on the ground can cause concern all fruit will drop but this will not happen. For the most part, June drop is a good thing. Instead of growers having to manually thin fruit, the tree does some of it.

Why does some fruit drop and not others? Dropped fruits may not have been fully pollinated. Without complete pollination, they won’t develop normally and drop off. With rainy weather, pollinators may not have been as active this spring. And its important not to apply insecticides to trees during blooming.

ALFALFA WEEVIL

With first cutting alfalfa, comes the annual appearance of alfalfa weevils chewing through stands and destroying yields and quality. Proper scouting, identification, and treatment are needed to properly handle these hay field pests.

Planting Strawberries and Care of

With gardening for food production on the rise, strawberries are one of the easiest fruits to grow. When planting strawberry plants, plant as early as possible in spring which in Nebraska is usually April.

Before planting, remove all but two or three well-developed leaves per plant, and clip off any visible flower clusters. As plants grow, continue to remove all flowers during the first year on June-bearing strawberries.
