Last week, we had two nights, I think, with low temps around 26°. That’s cold enough to kill some cherry buds, and I’m not sure how mine are doing. By the way, mine are Lapins cherries.
This branch is showing a lot of brown cherry blossoms, but I really don’t know if that’s simply what they look like after they’re done or if it was frost damage that created the brown withered look.
Despite the presence of some blossoms turning brown, there still were plenty of newly opened blossoms like these ones. I’m pretty sure we’ll get a decent crop of cherries from these trees. Let’s keep our fingers crossed!
Good news! We harvested two giant bowls of cherries on July 5th, and they were great. So, the freezes didn’t really harm the crop.
