Vilberie is an old English bittersweet that was likely brought to England from France in the late 19th century.  It’s late ripening and said be decently bitter. It is also late blooming, one of the few trees currently in full bloom .

TODAY IN THE ORCHARD

Today the farm dried out slowly after 1 3/4” rain yesterday afternoon and overnight. The sun came out and it warmed up. Laura came by and we strategized about next spraying options. We decided that we’ll spray tomorrow morning at 5:00 AM.
