AJfromElmiraNY, I’m glad to see that chart you posted. I’m parallel to you in NY state, in Columbia County. Last year (2016) was the absolute worst. I have 40 different fruit trees (apples, pears, plums, pluots, you name it) and my grand total harvest… 5 terrible apples on a Sweet Sixteen apple tree. Not a single fruit from any tree in the entire orchard. It was so bad, after so much work, that if it happens again, I’ll be hard-pressed to keep going with this project I’ve loved for so long.
