2019 Growing year
The crop of apples at Hinegardner Orchard is about 25% normal this year.
This spring there wwere far fewer apple blossoms than normal. No blossoms means no apples. This seems to be a local problem as other orchards in the state have normal crops.
Last winter I also removed about 300 Jonathon trees in our east orchard. These trees were planted in 1972 and needed to be removed as they were old and getting rotten. We replanted this area.
