Washington apple crop expected to return to normal with exceptional fruit quality
The Washington State Tree Fruit Association estimates the state's 2023 fresh apple crop to come in just over 134 million standard 40-pound boxes of fresh apples, a 28.8 percent increase from 2022’s 104.3 million boxes. The 2022 harvest was much smaller than normal due to a very cold spring, with snow that inhibited pollination during bloom.
