YAKIMA, WASH. — Superfresh Growers has released Episode 53 in its Orchard Update series.
“In this episode, horticulturist and ‘Tree Talker’ Dave Gleason stands in a Yakima, Wash., Gala apple orchard as a dusting of snow falls,” Superfresh Growers said. “Dave sheds light on what this season is like for farmers in the Pacific Northwest and discusses orchard activities beyond harvest. The trees begin to sleep this time of year, and Dave settles into the quiet time. As leaves fall away, Dave and the Superfresh Growers orchard teams can get a better look at the limbs of the tree, which are good indicators of its health.”
