Climate change impacts apple blooming in Himachal

The delay in blooming is likely to impact the apple production. The apple harvest, which usually commences in the last week of June, is likely to start in the second week of July. Apple trees in the lower elevations at the height of 5,000 feet above sea level fully bloom by mid-April. “Trees are at the stage of pink bud,” said Rahul Singh, an apple grower in Theog.

Climate change has adversely impacted the temperate fruits growing in Himachal Pradesh, particularly apples. The changing weather pattern, excessive rains last year and scanty snowfall have delayed the apple blooming by at least three weeks this year as compared to the past two years. (HT Photo)
