Cosmic Crisp Field Days September 14th and 22nd
Washington State University is hosting two field days this month that will allow growers to get another look at different aspects of the Cosmic Crisp apple.
The first field day is Wednesday, September 14th at the Roza Orchard in Prosser. This field day will focus on tree response to mechanical pruning and string thinning, sunburn, harvest planning and much more.
The second field day is Thursday, September 22nd beginning at the Stemilt Orchard in Quincy before moving to the Sunrise Orchard. It will cover some of the same topics, but also look at tree growth habits of an older orchard.
Both tours begin at 10 before moving to a second orchard later in the day.
Sept. 14: The tour will begin at the WSU ROZA field plots and move to Allan Brothers / Yakima Valley Orchards on N Aller Rd north off of Hanks Rd at 11:30 am.
Sept 22: The tour will start at field plots in Quincy and move to WSU Sunrise Research Orchard at 11:45 am. Stemilt’s Highway 28 orchard on the North side of highway 28 about a half mile East of White Trail Rd.
