This last winter with extremes and days of extremely warm weather confused some of my mango trees.
Similar problems here in Australia in some places. I have Apples and Fig fruit ripe on the tree in winter.
I get around a bit to peoples yards for work, and there are a lot of figs with extra crops this year.
Orchard growers were complaining that the stone fruit season was way out, and varieties were going to miss the Xmass sales window.
Also variety ripening times were overlapping more, causing a glut, instead of a stretched season.
A mild wet winter also brought fungal problems, and fruit fly surviving thru winter to kick off their attacks again.
Grapes had similar problems with fungus and delayed bud burst and flowering, then summer rains and mild weather slowed ripening down again.
Many grape crops were a write off.
This type of situation did happen in the past, but if it occurs more frequently and repeatedly in the future, it will be the end of some farms.
The success of this area is based on being in a dry semi arid climate, hinting into subtropical.
Irrigation from the Murray River allowed water to be applied in a controlled timed fashion over normally dry summers.
Rain events during fruit ripening season are not welcome in most cases.
Our local Catholic Priest ran 2 churches, one in the irrigated grape and citrus area, and another in the grain growing area, about 50 km apart.
On any Sunday, he would be praying for rain in one church with one parish, and praying for no rain at the other church a few hours later.
At some point in the year he would swap the prayers around, so that the fruit farmers got rain, but the wheat farmers did not get any during their harvest.
Some people blame Climate Change for recent weather events, but it is interesting to note that the priest did eventually retire,
and the parishioners merged and did start all using the one church ??
