I had the misfortune of suffering a killing freeze (23 degrees) when most of my fruit trees were blooming. My question is how I should manage those trees this year.
For example, should I continue to spray to control fungal diseases and insects such as coddling moth?
Also, should I take this misfortune as an opportunity to prune the trees. Some of my trees are overgrown. Should I prune now, or wait until summer?
Further, should I try to save the few fruit that survived the freeze? It seems that may be futile because a few fruit per tree will be targets of insects, birds, etc.
Thanks for any recommendations.
