A few weeks ago our peaches were at swollen bud (I'm still
learning to recognize the different stages of peach fruit development. I
think I'm getting a bit better at it.) Anyway we got a 26F
frost. According to the charts, that should have been no problem at all
for peaches at swollen but. In fact, the charts say peaches should be able
to take 26F through red calyx. However, after the freeze the buds on this
tree didn't look very good. Nearly all of them recovered except for about
5% that died. Of the eleven different peaches we have, none except PF1
suffered any damage. Anybody out there have a similar experience?
Are PF1 buds a little more winter tender than other peaches?
