March 16, 2017. Such ashame the cold is killing the blooms and crops.
Let me see if I can find some reports but looking at the widespread cold of low-mid 20s, looks like there would be damage all the way down to central Georgia & South Carolina.
In my garden I lost 100% of my blueberries and 100% of my pawpaws. All new growth on my figs is dead (should fruit but probably a month late and no breba crop). All new growth on my pomegranates is dead - no crop for sure.
I think its going to be a really tough year on wildlife. Tons of wild fruits will have no crop this year - 100% loss on porcelain berry, 100% loss on hollies just to name a few I noticed. A significant number of oaks and other mast trees had all of the catkins killed (it actually looks like fall here with many the oaks leafed out but now brown).
