US (MI): Frost damage worse than thought
It is a state-wide issue that has affected all kinds of tree fruit, apples, cherries, peaches, plums. Some farmers have lost almost all of their crop for the year.
There is a knock-on effect as growers are having to send workers home, as there is nothing for them to do.
Now, experts are advising the growers to focus on maintaining their trees, keeping them in shape ready for next year when, weather permitting they should be in fine form after having, effectively, a year off.
Fruit Specialist Bill Shane with the Michigan State University Extension walked through rows of peach and cherries tress on Tuesday.
