Redhaven harvest is winding down in the late areas while Loring peaches are in the second and in some areas, the final pick. Processing peaches, Veecling, Vinegold and Virgil have been received at Nabisco. Good fruit size and yields have been reported to date. European plums continued last week with reasonable size and good quality. Pears have been picked at many locations, size depends upon thinning and irrigation.
Irrigation continues in many vineyards.
Shoot growth is slowing down. Bunch thinning and some hedging continues. Harvesting Sovereign Coronation is finished in the early areas and continues in the Vineland area with high sugars and good colour. Fredonia's were started last week while Niagara's have turned colour and are close to harvest. Temperatures have remained pleasant with most days in the low to mid twenties and nighttime lows around fourteen.
