Last week's heat accelerated the flowering, although the extra early fruit campaign is still behind in Murcia
The days last week with temperatures that reached 30 degrees Celsius have accelerated the growth of the fruit, as well as the flowering of later varieties; however, the extra early fruit campaign is still behind this year compared to a normal campaign.
According to Pascual Hortelano, of FECOAM, the cold of February and the lack of sunshine in January explain this phenomenon.
