ALBION – The blossoms are out in Orleans County, one of the top fruit-producing counties in the state. These blossoms are at peach trees at Watt Farms on Route 98 in Albion.

Most of the fruit trees in the county are apple trees, which have white blossoms.

Farmers say the rainy weather has made it more difficult for pollination and to spray trees so far this spring.
