Okanagan fruit farmers switch crops in attempt to salvage season
After one of the most devastating winter cold snaps in recent memory, Jennifer Deol and her husband made the agonizing decision to rip out more than a hectare of prized peach trees from their Kelowna, B.C., orchard.
Extreme temperatures in early January severely damaged stone-fruit trees and grape vines up and down the Okanagan Valley, killing off the delicate buds on branches and vines that would have turned into this season's crops.
