Evening in orchard

Clearly the trees show no signs of stress or distress despite getting zero applications of fertilizer bought from any place. There are some trees with zinc deficiency in the orchard (see earlier posts), but not enough to put the crop or the livelihood of the dependants of the orchard in jeopardy.

As a result, there is no justification for intervening with synthetic or purchased "organic" products.
