Modern Trees
The Orchards are now planted with small trees, very close together.
These apple trees will not grow very tall, unlike there older relatives
below. The hills in the distance indicate what the valley would
look like without irrigation.

Country Back
Roads
Miles of roads run between the orchards and the older orchards
have large
mature trees, acres and acres, rows on rows, covered with apples
of
all types. Spartan, Golden Delicious, MacIntosh, Red Delicious
all crisp and juicy. The apples are harvested in late September.
Cherries, apricots, peaches, plums and nectarines are also
grown.

Green Grass

Due to the dryness of this region, crops and orchards can only
be cultivated
with the aid of irrigation.
