Hello! Today in this episode we are sharing the third webinar of a four part Virtual Orchard Meet Up Series 2026. The International Virtual Orchard Meetup program has brought together growers, researchers, and government and Extension agents to have an international conversation about important tree fruit topics, connecting industry leaders across North America. This year the virtual orchard meetups provided an opportunity to discuss challenges related to heat stress in summer and fall, identify opportunities to improve fruit quality, and remain profitable. They were led by a panel of SPARC scientists and tree fruit growers from across the United States and Canada.
