Trio Develops Apple Orchard in Wisconsin
GALESVILLE Wis special about 25 000 young apple trees mainly Delicious and Northwestern Greenings thrive on 60 acres east of Galesville bought last year by the Sacia brothers Ethan Roger and Robert Heavy frosts last week set back the young trees but did not severely damage growth. The brothers and their father Fred Sacia work daily grafting feeding with nitrates and planting additional trees. Fred Sacia handles grafting and notes trees grafted last season show up to two feet of new growth though some will need repeating. Frosts caused heavy losses in other Sacia orchards but parts of the plantings escaped. The season is about two months ahead of schedule.
