Riverland apples baked by extreme conditions:
"Ian Kent from New Residence, near Loxton, says he didn't realise the full extent of the damage until he started harvest this week.
Many growers in the region apply a sunscreen to protect their fruit - Mr Kent decided against it."
Don't put sunscreen on the trees, just cinnamon and the pie apples will be ready. Sunscreen on fruit?? The UV rays must be way up there. I know my parsley leaves have turned to paper so heaven knows what the sun is doing to our skin. As for the fruit, well, for the first time I have had rosellas eating all my nectarines. They yap out there as they gorge themselves and leave quite a mess. Luckily I have plenty of fruit but the rosellas have never had a great feast before. Maybe other people aren't growing the fruit they eat anymore...we forgot about that didn't we when we stopped planting fruit and nut trees in Adelaide.
