My Florida King peach just started flowering and leafing out about a week ago. The flowers are not quite fully open yet and we got down to 31 degrees a couple of nights ago. It’s predicted to freeze again tomorrow 30 degrees. At what point in the flower development is a freeze most damaging or is there more potential for damage after flowering?
It has been a warm winter here and I don’t believe we have reached the Florida King’s chill hour requirement of 400 hours, but obviously this tree disagrees with me.
This month and February are our coldest so I am at a loss as to what or if I can do anything about this.
