Not So Many Apples Being Grown In Southern Ontario
Winnipeg, Jan 25. Apple production along the North shore of Lake Ontario has fallen about 20 percent in 15 years. Neglected trees dominate many orchards on mixed farms and, in 16 years, little planting of new orchards has occurred. Experts urge more specialists in Ontario fruit growing and advise farmers to rely on well known local varieties such as Wealthy, Snow, McIntosh Red, Greening and Spy rather than export types.
