My orchard is still in the infant stage, so I don't have any apples
or pears yet so I can't answer this myself.
All this talk about how the microclimate or soil conditions in
various state affects how fruit tastes has me wondering. What is the
effect of a dry year on fruit quality versus a year that is overly
rainy from the norm? ( I'm not sure I would know a "norm" if it hit
me between the eyes.)
