We had an unusually cold winter and a late freeze. I lost a seedling 
peach, two young figs, and had bud damage to A. arguta and D. kaki.

The mature figs survived, but had varying amounts of die back. The pome 
blooms had some damage, and as the crazy cold weather was followed by 
hail storms, this has been the worst year I have experienced for 
fireblight strikes on every pome I own.
