This week I spoke to a one of our fruit tree farmers, Michael Preli, from Belltown Hill Orchard, he told me they are staying positive about the warm February weather.
Last year we had a similar weather pattern of warmth early and the fruit trees thought it was time to bud, then we got hit hard with cold temps and snow that destroyed those tender buds. Bad news for us, we had little to no stone fruit last year due to this event. Michael is hopeful that the snow cover that we shill have around will keep the trees cool enough even if it hits 60 degrees this week. Let's be hopeful with him.
