A pear of an orchard falls due to a typhoon
In the orchard in Atsugi City, Kanagawa Prefecture due to strong winds caused by a typhoon, there is a damage that pears fall before the harvest.
In the orchard of Mr. Hirohisa Suzuki (77) in Sekiguchi, Atsugi City, we cultivate vineyards and grapes in a field of approximately 1.8 hectares.
Of these, about 40% of the pears to be harvested from next week, such as “Shintaka,” fell under strong winds.
In preparation for this typhoon, it fell on the 7th despite taking measures to avoid shaking with the wind.
Once it falls, the surface will be scratched or discolored black, so it can not be shipped as a product. Mr. Suzuki said, I was struck by the damage, but I'm sorry that I can't harvest everything I made, but I want to do my best next year without being distracted. "
