[Leica] Apple Orchards

[Aram Langhans]

The Honeycrisp apple was not developed in Washington and it is not 
optimized for the harsh summer sun and hot temperatures we get.  Growers 
cover whole orchards with a netting that helps lower the temperature of 
the tree by up to 20F in mid day.  Here are a few shots of a honeycrisp 
orchard I drive by on the way to my summer teaching lab.
