Freeze
From Page A-l
Mr. Sharp said 80 to 90 percent of the blossoms on the early opening varieties were killed but there are still enough for a crop.
“I think peaches typically freeze one year out of four and apples less often,” he said. “Later opening varieties like Goldens, Romes and York weren’t as affected but flowers actually open or about to open were killed and that may have an effect on the quality of the apples.”
Mr. Hutcheson said he learned his lesson here when he first started out in the business and lost plants to freezing temperatures. He now grows other vegetables and also mums in the fall. He had not put the vegetables in the ground yet, he said.
Mr. Hutcheson said he began spraying the trees in March. “It was supposed to be a great year. Everybody said it was going to be the best year anyone had seen in long while for apples. But, of course, now that won’t happen.”
