The Easter lily crop for 2010 follows a mid-date crop schedule. A mid-date schedule for Easter that falls between April 3-15 is best from a grower perspective because it doesn’t require any special management tactics to either slow down or speed up crop development. Also, in northern climates, having the crop out of the greenhouses at the end of March allows plenty of time to fill them up for spring production.
