To the list,

While driving on the highway near Wenatchee, Washington (a great fruit-growing area) this weekend we noticed field after field of pure white fruit trees, in addition to an occasional field of the usual grayish-brown trees.

I thought it might be some sort of early spring spray, but others suggested it might be a variety or varieties with white bark. Every bit of the tree was white - trunk and all of the branches, giving the fields a rather ghostly appearance.

Any idea what this might be? By the way, it was a beautiful sunny day, with no rain to wash off anything that might have been sprayed.
