Looks like the area is your slice of heaven.
Yeah, isn't it true that whatever crazy stuff may be happening, a walk in the orchard brings the smile back?
Can you share more detail about the sprinkler and irrigation setup, especially for the younger/newly planted trees?
Nothing really special. I like the Netafim Supernet Jr sprinklers. They're used quite widely commercially but not so easy to source retail. I run a std 1/2" plastic irrigation tube down the row/terrace, and then plug in the sprinklers. I get the blue spreading discs with "short range" tabs. The tabs deflect the spray so only about a 3ft radius is covered, which is great when a small tree goes into the ground. After a few years I break off the tab as the root zone expands to get a ~6ft radius and I move the sprinklers a bit further away from the trunk. Two sprinklers per tree, or just one in between every two trees depending on how things work out. The latter is what is done commercially, but my crazy hillside terraces aren't that regular. In addition, I got special little deflectors that keep the water off the trunk. I can't get those anymore so I now use small binder clips instead. Doesn't seem to be so essential for citrus, more so for stone fruit.
Long reply, but the main thing for me is that I add mulch every year or two and I want sprinklers so the mulch gets rained on and decomposes. We have basically zero rain from about april to november. Plus, in sandy soil I don't believe that drip really works for trees due to the lack of lateral spread of the water.
