Late Spring Frost Delays Fruit Tree Growth in Belarus

Unseasonably Cold Spring Delays Fruit Tree Budding in Belarus Belarussian fruit tree nurseries are facing challenges this spring due to unusually cold weather. Sadoviy-kray, a nursery in the Mozyr region, reports that many saplings, especially those of heat-loving varieties like peaches and plums, are showing delayed budding. This has caused concern among customers, but the nursery owner assures them that many saplings are still viable. "The pears and apples aren't as affected by the cold," explains the nursery owner in a recent video. "But the cherries, plums, and peaches are slower to bud." The owner demonstrates a simple method to check the health of the saplings by examining the inner buds for green growth. If the inner buds are green, the sapling is still alive and will eventually bud. This advice offers reassurance to customers and highlights the challenges faced by Belarusian farmers due to climate change.
