UMass Extension Fruit Program

McIntosh apples are in full bloom as of May 7 at the UMass Orchard. All other apples range from early petal fall (Zestar!) to king bloom (MAIA 1 ‘Evercrisp’). Pears are mostly into petal fall although I don’t pay a lot of attention to  them. Peaches have some lingering bloom, but mostly done, such as with Redhaven. Montmorency tart cherry is inpetal fall.
