Aug 27, 2012Michigan grower finding more apples than first thought.
At least one Michigan orchard reports having more apples than they had anticipated.
King Orchards in Kewadin, Mich. said they are finding more fruit than first thought but are worried that the news won’t get to the consumers.
“Even though the apple crop is only about 30% of our potential, it is still a lot of apples. We have many new acres of HoneyCrisp, Mac, Cortland, and Gala that should be in full production but did not produce anything this year. However, the HoneyCrisp, Galas, Macs, Jonagolds, GingerGolds, and Spies in some of our blocks have come through with nice crops. The size is great and we are very excited that we are back in the fruit business full force!”
