Wow, street view is very old. That must have been taken back in 2005 or so.

I agree, Herschel (and Sylvain), but I could not get the drawing to be enough to scale. It's a large area, about 1/4 of an acre. So, I thought if I could just get an aerial shot like Laaz was talking about, I could much more easily and accurately mark the locations. I do have a hand-drawn map, but my gosh, it looks like a 5 year old drew it, lol!!

Look for the nearest paramotorist (PPGist), he will do the pictures with pleasure, if you don't live in town. We are not allowed to fly over towns.

I make aluminum tags for each tree and wire them on with copper wire. There are well over 100 trees and it is a chore making tags even for new trees but it is the best that I have found. The aluminum is painted on one side so I use a sharpened large nail to scratch the name with.

I copied and enlarged the surveryor's drawing of my property and mark trees graphically with a pencil. I use a two letter code for each variety.

Too many trees to mark individually on the drawing, but I use a two letter code to mark each grouping. Helps to remind me of what's where.

That's a good idea! I think I have a surveryor's copy of my lot with my home inspection report when I bought the house. I'll see if that will work. And I do have all the trees marked with tree markers, but I probably should also put hang tags in the trees, too. I and my gardener sometimes accidentally kick the markers which are pushed into the ground.

Panzarella orange? I believe I am the source of that budwood.

Well, if it doesn't work. I can help you draw a new one. I survey and draft. I can easily make you a simple layout drawing.

Thanks! I hate to say that I'm lame at this, but apparently, I appear to be

Great work Laaz! Now when I come by at night I know where to find my Favorite fruit !!!

You just have to try and avoid the two Rotts.

The branches of my citrus plants would often bend over and touch the ground when loaded with fruit. I used to prop the branches with 1 X 1 stakes. Fruit touching the ground is susceptible to brown rot problems. I sometimes lost up to 20% of the crop.
