With the early freeze we had this year, citrus growers in the Southeast are concerned about damage to their trees and crops. This is even more likely this year due to the very weak La Nina and the prospect of more cold outbreaks over the next few weeks. Here is a recent Extension bulletin from the University of Georgia describing how freezing conditions can damage citrus trees and fruit and what producers need to know to protect against freezes or recover after one occurs. I am especially excited because I saw that my local Kroger is selling Georgia satsumas this week and so I need to purchase some on my next trip to the store. I support our local Georgia citrus producers!
