Peaches were hurt significantly by yesterday morning’s freeze. Temperatures ranged from 25 degrees on the hills to 19 degrees in the low spots. The wind laid down around 3 a.m. which plummeted the temps. We ran two wind machines from 3 till 8:00. There seems to be a better crop around the wind machines. Late blooming varieties also seem to have survived better. Many varieties are wiped out. It will take a week or two to get a good estimate, but I think a 40 percent crop might be optimistic. I will give a report in a week on which varieties survived.
