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.
