Mark and V2020,

Here's the answer from Marc Rust, who works for the Inland Empire  Tree Improvement Cooperative:  

"The IETIC is in the process of removing some trees in the first 12  rows of the orchard to make room for a new orchard.  The area will  be replanted over the next few years with grafted trees from the  USFS resistance program.  This is a planned replacement for part  of the orchard.  The remaining rows will not be replaced anytime  soon."
