Local growers report severe frost hurt early peaches and cherries while apples show damage but may produce a good crop if remaining fruit holds. Robert Barr, a leading farmer, cautions that estimates are guesses but notes the frost’s heavy impact and the risk of further fruit drop as cold continues. The frost dipped to 23 25 degrees, the harshest of the month, threatening peaches and cherries but potentially preserving late apples.
