Many of you have been asking if the recent single-digit cold weather harms our trees. Not at all; our trees, already in dormant mode, are naturally inclined to handle weather like this...part of the natural cycle of the seasons.
The downside is that it does make it difficult for our pruning team to get out into the orchard to prune the trees. But the upside is that we hope this intense cold kills off unwanted pests: stinkbug, lantern fly, maybe even pear sylla. Regardless, a snowy cold morning is certainly beautiful landscape to appreciate.
