That cold snap was rough. My peach buds looked fine going into it but the ones that were furthest along didn’t set anything. The later blooming ones seem to have pulled through though so fingers crossed for a decent harvest still.
We also got hit with the cold snap about mid bloom. It looks like some of the later blooms set - and since peaches tend to over-set anyway, we may end up thinning less this year. That’d be a welcome relief.
Same cold weather front here in North Georgia during the blooming stage.
I grow:
Risingstar, PF Eightball, Blazingstar, Starfire, PF 19-007, Coralstar, Intrepid.
All are the same age.
The ones that produced well, despite the cold weather, are:
in first place Starfire,
in second place Intrepid,
and in third place PF Eightball.
Blazingstar and PF 19-007 had one or two fruits only - Quite disappointing.
