Here in Ontario over the last 15 years I&#39;ve seen a huge change in how apples are grown. There used to be individual trees in an orchard; now there are apple &#34;vines&#34;, branches grown along wires strung in parallel rows like grape vines. And there is a large mechanical harvester that runs between rows instead of people on ladders in trees. I think apple yield per hectare must be double what it used to be.<br/><br/>#WaterlooRegion #Ontario #AppleTech 2024-10-14T18:54:29Z
