Mr. Ben Pike is 52 years old. The horticultural engineer affirmed that this was the most strangely cold-resistant apple tree he had encountered. The apple tree still bore fruit despite the cold outside, snow and ice.
“I It is impossible to explain how the apple tree endured the winter. Apples are usually harvested from August to November depending on the variety. If it’s not too cold, the apple trees may have fruit until Christmas,” Mr. Pike added.
And according to 52-year-old agronomist Jane Schofield, apple trees are a miracle. “It’s surprising that no apples have fallen during the cold winter. I can still see the apples on the branches in January.”
