From minor, isolated outbreaks in 1986, primarily based in an Annapolis County apple orchard, fire blight has spent the past 20 years spreading the entire length of the Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia's premier apple-producing region. "All orchards in the valley are at risk," says Bill Craig, a horticultural consultant with Agra Point International, adding infected blossoms appeared in most areas of the Annapolis Valley during 2006, which was a bad year for the disease in the Atlantic region. "Maybe global warming is coming back to bite us."
