The BC Government's program to assist BC tree fruit growers with replanting is a boon to those needing to update their orchards to more modern varieties that are currently in demand.

This is an excerpt from a news release by the Ministry of Agriculture on June 2, 2016:

For the 2016-17 season, it is estimated that $300,000 of the new funding will be available and this will assist more than two dozen additional projects with 122 additional acres being replanted. In total, the Province’s tree fruit replant program is committing $9.4 million that will see at least 1,600 acres replanted by 2021, providing more than 2,600 jobs each year for the Okanagan.
