Spring frost damage is creating major challenges for fruit growers across Michigan, and in this video from PomesandStones we discuss how orchard hedging plays an important role in managing tree health, setting future crops, promoting new growth, and keeping rows clear for tractors and equipment. While many growers in Southern Michigan are dealing with frost damage and potential crop loss, orchard work still has to continue to prepare trees for the seasons ahead.
From cherry orchards to apple trees, hedging is a critical part of modern fruit farming that helps improve sunlight penetration, encourage productive growth, and maintain efficient orchard management. This video highlights both the difficult reality of frost damage in Michigan agriculture and the constant work growers put in to protect and improve their orchards year after year.
