Soil Analysis
Results from Chandler Orchards soil analysis
In late 2009, we commissioned a soil analysis to ensure the orchard was apt for walnut cultivation. We have reproduced a portion of that analysis, including the lab results from one of the trial pits that was dug on our property. While we invite you to read the complete analysis, the highlights are as follows:

Good Drainage
The soil is sandy and offers excellent drainage to any cultivation chosen.

Neutral pH
The pH varies between 7.06 to 7.48, neutral to slightly alkaline.

No Limits
The soil does not impose any additional limits on cultivation.

Apt for Walnuts
The recommended crops for the area are grapevines or fruit trees.
