Commercial and home fruit growers across the state have been assessing potential damage to their crops after last week's overnight freezing temperatures. While a freeze/frost event this time of year is certainly not unusual, what was unusual is how far ahead of schedule fruit crops are this year compared to normal.
To help growers better assess damage to common tree and small fruits, Purdue Extension Specialists Bruce Bordelon, Peter Hirst, and Jon Obermeyer have produced a series of videos addressing last week's freeze and the effects on apples, peaches, grapes, strawberries, and blackberries.
The videos are available on the Purdue Extension Entomology YouTube channel. Links to each specific video are below:
