The Orchard Files
Has your orchard expanded to the point that you can no longer rely on memory alone to keep track of all your fruit and nut-bearing trees and shrubs?
Mine too!
With so many different varieties, each with its own care requirements, it’s easy to lose track of essential details like pruning schedules, soil amendments, disease and pest pressure and harvest times.
That’s why I designed The Orchard Files!
This thoughtfully designed record-keeping system provides dedicated space to document everything you need to know about each tree or shrub in your orchard. Each page includes sections to record important details such as the plant’s source, type, size, and cultivar.
You’ll also find space to note soil amendments, pollination requirements, pruning history, pest and disease treatments, blooming and harvest times, fruit characteristics, and even disease resistance.
Plus, there’s extra room for additional notes—perfect for tracking observations, experiments, or special care instructions.
To make organization even easier, The Orchard Files is divided into specific sections for different plant categories, including apples, pears, stone fruits, berries, native species, citrus, tropical fruits, vines, and even caffeine-producing shrubs. Whether you’re a backyard grower or managing a larger-scale orchard, this system will help you stay on top of your plants’ needs and ensure a thriving, productive harvest year after year.
This reference can serve a treasured heirloom to pass on to future generations of gardeners, or a priceless resource to pass on to the future owners of your property..
