Vernon's Davison Orchards says fruit a-go for 2024 season despite 'brutal winter'
Fruit growers across the Okanagan have spoken out about the tough wintering of crops and Vernon's Davison Orchard says it’s felt the sting as well, but will still have lots of fruit available.
It’s thanks, in part, to a controlled atmosphere storage system which allowed the orchard to keep a crop of honey crisp apples over winter.
Tamra Davison, with the orchard, says they took the apples out earlier this week, and the crop was “almost just as good” as when they had gone into the room, fresh picked.
