Report not available. Temperatures have remained above average with daytime highs in the mid to upper twenties. Temperatures are expected to be more seasonal over the next five days with a risk of frost. Precipitation was variable over the region but most areas received 75mm or more over the past few weeks. McIntosh harvest is in full swing.
Size is good but colour needs improvement.
Drop has been considerable especially during the Labour Day weekend when temperatures were in the mid thirties. Drop has slowed down likely due to the rain and cooler temperatures. Most growers have gone over their McIntosh once at this point. Lobo harvest is also underway along with the harvest of Royal Gala. Gala size has improved and is now good for eastern Ontario.
