2024 crops year in review
Apples The 2024 apple season is still in harvest, according to the Washington state University Tree Fruit Extension Specialist Tianna DuPoint. However, the harvest is looking positive. “We’re still getting estimates on the crop turnout, but the quality seems to be good,” DuPoint said. During the spring, some apple crops were impacted by cold weather but in most locations the crops are still looking good according to DuPoint. “This is a great year to eat fruit, it’s very tasty,” DuPoint said.
