In your article on almond trees it said: “When growing almond trees, it is helpful to know that the trees do not tolerate wet soil” but then you said that: “Drip irrigation should be initiated daily with the trees needing 2-3 inches of water.” Does it mean 2-3 inches per day, or week, or month? We have a good loam soil.
