Apple trees ‘confused’<br />
Some of the apple trees in Dave<br />
Thomson’s orchard are confused<br />
and have reblossommed and are<br />
now fruitbearing.<br />
The lifestyle blockowner lives<br />
5km from Hinds and has about40<br />
older variety trees on his property.<br />
Every year the trees blossomin<br />
Spring and Dave picks his apples in<br />
February, before the birds get them.<br />
He enjoys the fruit and feedsany<br />
surplus to his animals.<br />
Recent new blossom on three<br />
trees caughtDave’s eye and there<br />
are now golf ballsized apples<br />
growing.<br />
‘‘I couldn’t believe it. I’m<br />
confused,the trees are confused and<br />
they thinkit’s spring again.’’<br />
He said autumn had been mild<br />
this year,but the apples would not<br />
enjoy and survivewinter frosts.<br />
Dave, whoisretired and aformer<br />
rural realestateagent, has lived on<br />
his property for more than 20 years<br />
and has never seenwinter blossom<br />
or fruit before.<br />
‘‘It might be the sign of things to<br />
come,who knows.’’<br />
Apple trees in Dave Thomson’s Hinds<br />
orchard are bearingunseasonal fruit.<br />
