le orchards present a picture of broken apple trees with fruit either dropped on the ground or hanging from broken branches, said a farmer from Rafiabad. The apple trees have suffered lots of damage due to heavy load of snow piled up on the leaves and fruit.
We are assessing the damage, but most of the apple trees and the fruit crop have been damaged in snowfall in the valley, a Horticultural officer said.
