I recall a discussion in a class that I took from the Guru of plant stress
physiology Dr. C.J. (Bud) Weiser, at Oregon State University in the early 80's
about pruning in late fall/early winter compared to middle and late winter.
The answer can be summarized in how fast the plants enter deep
Western Illinois has some damage to peach fruits. Peaches have just passed
shuck split. There is little damage to apples, which are at 4 to 6 mm. The

Interesting observations.. Does it matter to your customers if a certain
percentage, large or small, of what you sell either at the farm or elsewhere is
not grown at your farm? Do they know, should they know, and

Hi Jon: the sunken dark green spots are definitely cork spots. Peel the fruit
and you will see a brown corky area. Bitter pit usually does not go deep and
the spots are mostly black. I am not sure of the brown spots. They look
different from cork. The reason I say that is that the brown

If you are asking about diphenylamine (DPA), then it is an antioxidants that
blocks the oxidation of alpha farnesene into conjugated trienes in the peel.
Conjugated trienes are what causes the apple/pear peel to turn brown from

Hi Lee: did the pitting symptoms started to develop early during fruit
formation (when fruits are about a dime size) or did it show up late.? Does
the pitting goes deep into the flesh or is it limited to skin area? You may
have corking problem not bitter pit ..Mosbah Kushad, Illinois
The update from Illinois is relatively good.. We also had snow bloom and sunny
and warm few days during the early part of bloom which gave us good fruit set
on the kings. But the weather turned cold and windy during the middle and end
of the bloom which has kept the bees in their hives..

Hi Art: The “Macoun” variety is a self-sterile apple, like ”Jonagold”. It
needs a pollinizer close-by to set a full crop. Jonathan, Granny Smith,
Elstar, Grimes Golden, and most crab apples will pollinate Macoun. As for the
seeds, they are needed for fruit set and for larger fruit size

It is good to be cautious and alert, but it seems that this incidence is
isolated to one group of dishonest workers. There is no reason to be
suspicious of anyone that is looking for work. There are many honest temporary
workers.. Mosbah, Illinois
