Florida citrus growers are continuing to assess damage from Hurricane Irma, according to a story in The Packer this week. While initial damage shows a lot of fruit blown down and trees tipped over, additional losses may become clear later as trees drop more fruit and losses from trees with roots under flood water become apparent. The story also discusses somewhat lower losses to vegetables and replanting of 24 acres of blueberry bushes by more than 200 volunteers in Pasco County. You can read more about it here.
