The Star representative asked some
of the most experienced fruit growers
and horticulturists for their opinion.
1t was learned from those inquiries
that the cod weather this season has
not in the least injured apple trees.
but, on the contrary, has helped them.
The cold weather in winter serves to
make the trees more hardy and better
able to resist the sharp cold snaps OF
spring at the time when they are be-
ginning to put forth their new growth.
The extreme cold of the winter tends
to make trees of sound and substanti-
al growth. The cold puts the soil
about the roots of the trees in good
condition. destroys many Of the pests,
and as whole improves the orchard.
1t would require a n exceedingly long
spell of unusual low temperature to
injure the fruit trees.
If the thermometer would drop to 4C
degrees below zero or lower-and con-
tinue there for weeks and weeks, the
fruit trees and many of the shade trees
would suffer, but winter weather, such
as prevailed this year, has helped The
apple orchards rather than hurt them
Many believe, however, that peach
trees have been seriously injured =
