Frosts in Shenandoah Valley Prompt Uncertain Fruit Damage
The Shenandoah Valley saw temperatures as low as 24 degrees on April 6, leaving growers unable to estimate damage to peach and apple crops. Inspecting pistils this weekend will indicate bud survival, but experts warn bud kill does not equal final yield. Growers note peaches likely hit harder than apples, with varieties including Gravestein Early Transparent and Rambo common in the area. Sam Ensogna of National Fruit cautions that early estimates are unreliable and final yields will depend on bud sets and subsequent weather.
