Accessing Cold Damage to Fruit Buds

With temperatures expected to dip below freezing and with buds of many fruit crops either being open or close to that stage, you may get questions about possible bud damage from the cold.  I have attached some information on what temperatures fruit buds of different crops can tolerate at various stages of development, and information on assessing bud damage following this cold event.  I hope this is of use to you.

As always, feel free to give me a call or drop me an email if I may be of more help.
