Winnetka National has a Fruit Orchard?!? AND why is #18 Pond orange???

#18 Pond has an orange color...why?

The pollen from the Hawthorne Tree is the reason. This a natural phenomenon and nothing is wrong.

The Winnetka National Orchard located adjacent to the Nursery Green and between #16 Tee complex and the #17 Hole. There are four (4) Apple Trees, three (3) Peach Trees, and also a Pear and Plum Tree. We used to have six assorted (sweet & sour) Cherry Trees but those were lost during the Great Flood of September 2008. The fruit is all edible and we have never sprayed any plant protectants (pesticides) opting for a natural approach. Just make sure to beat the deer to the apples as they push against the fence!
