Good perspectives for the apple harvest of 2013, but if the heat and the sun are at rendez-vous this summer.
A cold spring is often synonymous with a good harvest of apples
For the association English Apples and Pears the harvest for this year may be well above the average. Forecasts indicate a higher harvest by 50% compared to last year, it was down 25% compared to previous years.
These good perspectives are however related to conditions, it is necessary that the heat and the sun are at the rendezvous this summer. Unlike the previous year which recorded a cool and wet summer causing delay and lower volumes.
