NEW EPISODE

Apple Tech with Tom Kon

September 6, 2023
18 minutes

We kick off a new season with apple expert Dr. Tom Kon from NC State’s Department of Horticultural Science. During peak harvest season, Dr. Kon reflects on the different variables affecting production, and the new technologies being utilized in orchards to maximize yields. His unique connections with the orchards in the Southeast allow nearly half of his research to be done directly on working farms.
