2022 'Honeycrisp' Fruit Collection for Peel Sap Starts in Early July
Mike Basedow, Tree Fruit Specialist
Eastern New York Commercial Horticulture
In early July we will begin a cooperative effort between Cornell extension, growers, consultants, and storage operators to collect Honeycrisp fruitlets statewide to analyze them for mineral nutrient concentrations. This is part of a statewide extension effort funded by ARDP to evaluate Honeycrisp orchards throughout the state for determination of fruit storage potential and the risk of bitter pit in storage.
