To Mike Robinson, everything in an orchard is connected. An orchard is a fully formed ecosystem with mutually dependent parts. Adjustments to one mean adjustments to another. "It all has to go together on horticulture, or you're not going to win," said Robinson, the 2021 Good Fruit Grower of the Year.Robinson has given a lot of tours and presentations. It became one of his main jobs at Auvil Fruit Co., where he spent nearly 10 years working in most facets of fruit production. In recent years, too, he has hosted field days and in-orchard lessons for the International Fruit Tree Association and Washington State University.
