While there is no fruit this year, Vernon's Davison Orchard say peach trees are bouncing back from a harsh winter

The good news is peach trees at Vernon's Davison Orchard survived the harsh winter.

The bad news is, the fruit buds did not.

In a video update of how the trees are doing after a bitter cold snap last winter, Tom Davison said there are no fruit buds on the trees this year, but the trees themselves responded well to being heavily pruned in the spring.

Depending on what happens this winter, saving the trees could mean a crop next year.

"It was obvious early on the fruit buds were frozen," Davison said adding they are doing everything they can to “perk the tree up because we know it has had a lot of damage from those winter temperatures.”
