Apple and Peach Prospects Normal In Winchester Area
Joseph E. Butler reports apple and peach crops in the Winchester area are generally normal. Budding is good on most apples except Yorks, while peaches are twice as heavy as needed for a fine yield. Frost damage is minimal and not expected to affect total production. Staymans and Delicious buds are normal. York buds lag in many areas, especially where last year’s York yield was high. A heating of orchards may have saved some fruit. the five day forecast predicts normal temperatures with showers and sun.
