KYIV, March 26 – The analysis of weather information and gardeners' reports on the situation in the gardens indicates that Ukraine may produce a record harvest of apples in 2018, the Ukrainian Horticultural Association said.

According to a preliminary forecast of the association, the anomalously cold and snowy March of the current year with a high probability will delay the flowering of the gardens, which will allow reducing the likelihood of losses from spring frosts, while the relatively stable climatic conditions of the winter allowed gardeners to almost completely prevent damage and depletion of trees.
