Fruit Damage Not Severe in Clermont County
A quick survey by County Agricultural Agent Roy Battles shows fruit losses from a weekend freeze are not as bad as feared. Early plums and peaches show some damage, apples less affected, Kieffer pears hardy, Lombard plums reduced, German Prune plums largely untouched, with temps reported around 28 to 30 degrees. If no more freezes occur in three weeks, the crop seems likely to run only slightly below normal.
