The dark-colored tissue on this holly was damaged by the cold weather we experienced the week of March 20th. Damage to new growth is most likely to occur in the Spring when a frost or freeze follows a period of warm weather where new growth is developing rapidly. Flowering and fruiting can also be severely affected by these weather conditions. As a result, we are evaluating cold damage to peach and blueberry crops across the state now. Stay tuned to the SC Fruit and Vegetable Field Report for updates on this year’s peach and blueberry crops.
