It began as a ranch that had a fruit orchard - next to a successful homestead with a fruit orchard. The NPS bought the ranch, added it to Chiricahua, and spent money fixing up the house while neglecting the landscaping. I am interested in getting advice and perhaps some labor from people interested in helping maintain the remaining existing plants as well as establishing a small orchard of similar trees.</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>Presently there are at least seven apricot trees, a pear, apple, and about 30 persimmon trees - all in desperate need of pruning and TLC.
