tunafish Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 1 hour ago, dendrite said: Hoping for 30+ here and only a couple hours of it. Better yet, keep the wind up and stay above freezing. The apples and pears are pretty tough so I'm not too worried about them unless we start getting into the 20s. The orchards in the MRV may be a different story...especially CON/Loudon. I'm worried there will be no PYO peaches at Carter Hill Orchard this year. I haven't had a lot of experience with this much cold this late with my pawpaw trees, but I think they'll be fine too. It is what it is. Most of the potted plants will be coming in...even the figs and avocados. I did have the avos outside for that May 2020 snow/cold event and they survived despite a little leaf burning. Are the peach trees already cooked for this year due to that cold in Feb?

Yea, that's what I thought too, are most in the region already done anyway? My two had no flowers again this year. Two years in a row. Three years ago tree was loaded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backedgeapproaching Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Man, gardens look like shiitte right now. Have 10 peonies not opened totally flopped over, Japanese maples look really bad too. Hopefully that stuff rebounds? Having started any veggie stuff, so now worries there. Davis said 26.3F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unrelated to your post, but it reminded me.... I was reading something last night about Monarchs. The ones that travel to NE have the furthest to travel, and so need a great deal of pollen (fuel) before their return south. Often, people will plant milkweed to attract them for laying/hatching - which is great - but they don't plant late-flowering plants to provide them the fuel for travel. So, I guess, it's important for monarchs to not only have milkweed but also late flowering plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re also sheltered from the foliage above that’s getting fried. When you get a light frost have you ever noticed it’s frost free under the tree canopy yet frosted around and outward from it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a few young oaks, all the tiny leaves and stuff look dead. i am sure both maples and oaks will come back after some rain and warmer temps. or so I really really hope!

I went and checked my wild blueberry patch this morning, and saw exactly as you describe - top flowers fried, underneath generally unscathed. https://ibb.co/KLchJHn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
