Moran discusses apple crop woes with Press Herald
The Portland Press Herald interviewed Renae Moran, a professor of pomology with the University of Maine School of Food and Agriculture and a fruit tree specialist with University of Maine Cooperative Extension, for a column about this year’s struggling apple crop and stressed oak trees. Moran said all fruit trees are experiencing issues this year. According to the report, a May 18 frost caused apple crop declines in some parts of the state. “Apples with nonlethal injury have frost-bitten skin and some have internal browning,” Moran said. “Most, however, are in good shape.”
