two weeks after the freeze
It's been a year since last year's deep freeze. The citrus was hurt, mostly the branches. Some plots have started to blossom. No fruit was produced for this year's crop.
Appears some farmers determined their trees were too far damaged to be recovered. Thousands of acres in my area have been pushed out.
Many plots though are being retained. Workers have gone in and trimmed off the dried branches. The main trunks are unhurt. Green branches are leafing out. Be another year though for fruit.
The trees across the road from my place were similarly affected. I was hoping they could be saved. A whole section just in my neighborhood got pushed out.
My best hope is they will be replanted with a newer variety. My worst fear is he will subdivide and sell lots.
