This spring we are still seeing the fallout of the warm February followed by two frosts on berry production in the Southeast. There were significant losses in some blueberry areas, although many others are loaded with berries this year. The worst hit were the early-blooming varieties, which were most susceptible to the protracted cold after an early end to dormancy following the very warm February. Unfortunately, this may happen more often in the future as winters are warming faster than every other season. You can read more about it in Delta Farm Progress.
