If a tree or crop needs help now
We can’t diagnose plants by email, and the site isn’t watched for urgent questions. These people can help today.
Sick trees, strange spots, or unknown pests: your county extension office. Most states also run a plant diagnostic lab that can test a sample.
A suspected quarantine pest or disease, such as citrus greening: your state department of agriculture or USDA. Don’t move the plant, its fruit, or its trimmings until you’ve talked to them.
Pesticide exposure: call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222. For general pesticide questions, the National Pesticide Information Center answers at 1-800-858-7378.
Corrections and sources
Write here when a figure looks wrong, a source is out of date, or a planting date doesn’t match your region.
Fruit figures change with the climate, so these details help most:
- The page address
- The figure or sentence in question
- The fruit and the state or region it applies to
- The source you’re comparing against
Most corrections go up within a week. National statistics are refreshed each year after USDA publishes its fruit summary in May.
Topic ideas are welcome here too. Many guides start with a grower’s question.
Everything else
Press and media, permission to quote or reprint, a page that won’t load, or a question about how the site works.
Privacy and data requests go here as well. Our privacy policy explains what we keep and for how long.
What we can’t help with
Naming a disease from a photo. Many fruit diseases and nutrient problems look alike. A diagnostic lab can test a sample and tell them apart.
Pesticide or fertilizer rates for your planting. Pesticide rates come from the product label. Fertilizer amounts should come from a soil test and your extension office.
Selling trees or picking a nursery for you. We don’t sell plants or fruit, and we don’t recommend individual nurseries by email.
Reviewing your business plan or loan. Our guides explain costs and farm loans in general. For your own numbers, talk to your county extension office or a USDA Farm Service Agency loan officer.
Guest posts and paid links. We don’t publish them.
When you’ll hear back
Usually within three business days. Corrections tend to move faster.
If a week goes by with no answer, check your spam folder and write again.
Who runs the site
FruitFarming.org is operated by Jummas Organic Fruits Farm, based in Bangladesh. Four people research, write, check, and edit the guides, and you can meet them on the About page.
The guides are written for people growing fruit in the United States, so most of the research and rules they cite are American.
