Barnesville Crops Suffer Cold Bloom Loss in Georgia

W O Marshburn, owner of the area’s largest orchard, estimates substantial overall losses though some trees show fruit enough for a potential yield. Stafford and Howard note varied bloom and overall fruit kill rates, with hopes for a modest shipment and at least sixty cars predicted. Smaller growers corroborate, with sufficient bearing trees nearby to support a crop, while current weather improves but uncertainty remains.
