Columbia Británica/Canadá: efectos del cambio climático golpearán producción de cerezas, manzanas y otros cultivos

Be prepared to pay a lot more for fresh fruit this summer, if you can find it in stores.

Severe winter weather, dry conditions and plant diseases have reduced expected fruit crop production in the Prairies’ main fruit suppliers.

Warm weather in January got the sap in fruit trees flowing and a sharp cold snap killed the buds. Few trees will be able to produce in time for a harvest.

The B.C. Fruit Growers Association estimates between 30 per cent and 100 per cent of the sweet cherry crop was destroyed by weather and plant disease.
