Ela Orchard is located in Rochester, Wisconsin. We offer many varieties of apples and pears, and we press fresh apple cider each week, usually starting in late August.
The Spring of 2012 has been an uneasy one for fruit trees. Early warmth brought blossoms out in March and early April well ahead of "normal". A number of cold nights with temperatures getting below 25 degrees have destroyed some of the blossoms. Some blossoms seem to have survived into late April, and we just have to wait and see what apples actually set and begin to grow before we know how much of a crop there will be this year.
We are hopeful there will be some apples, and will keep watching and see how the rest ot the Spring develops.
We hope to continually improve the materials available here on our website throughout the season. Please use the links in the header to navigate to the content you'd like to see.
