We have some frozen rain and even potential flurries for this Easter weekend. And there are concerns that’s would it hurt the bloomings and recently set fruit trees.
Here is a way to tell if you lost some or all of the fruit on your fruit trees this year. Also, below are some helpful links for evaluating frost damage.
For other small fruit crops and spring garden crops, you can search “your crop+variety+frost damage temperature” to determine if you need to cover or protect them
