The damage is looking far worse now for
my kiwi vines. I have a number of large, mature A. chinensis vines. I knew the
green growth and flower buds would be toast, but now it appears that the
trunks may all be killed to the ground as well. Some of these have woody
trunks 2.5 inches in diameter, and have never suffered the slightest winter
injury before. Many are now soft and mushy. Even the hardy kiwi are
bleeding brown sap and may also have severe trunk damage. They should all
resprout from the roots and the few that were grafted can be re-grafted, as I
collected dormant wood in February as insurance, but no fruit this year. My
trellises did need re-wiring, so I guess this gives me an opportunity
to do the needed maintenance.
I'm still pretty bummed, but I really feel bad for
friends who rely on fruit crops for their livelihood. This is by far the worst
spring freeze damage I've ever seen.
