Upcoming Events
2025 Honeycrisp Peel SAP Analysis
July 7 - July 8, 2025
In early July we will begin a cooperative effort between Cornell extension, growers, consultants, and storage operators to collect Honeycrisp fruitlets in WNY to analyze them for mineral nutrient concentrations. This is to evaluate Honeycrisp orchards for determination of fruit storage potential and the risk of bitter pit in storage.
