US (IA): Frost damages fruit blossoms
Fruit specialist Paul Domoto says that it is currently too early to say to what extent the crops will be affected as growers will need time to assess the impact of the weather in their own localities.
Superintendent Nick Howell says he' doesn't expect much of an apple crop, and there's damage to the station's vineyards and strawberries.
The problem is the result of advanced flowering stemming from an unusually warm Spring. more frost warnings have been posted.
