Handley speaks to BDN about the impact of record high fall temperatures on Maine fruit crops

The Bangor Daily News spoke to David Handley, professor at the University of Maine fruit and vegetable research center at Highmoor Farm and cooperating professor of horticulture at the University of Maine Cooperative Extension, about the impact of record high November temperatures on Maine’s perennial crops. “We are seeing some buds starting to break out. Pretty much anything that is left out now that has not gone into dormancy will probably not go dormant and you may start to see some regrowth,” Handley said.
