Post-Frost Event Summary- May 30, 2023
Good morning,
It looks like a safe morning for most of the fields in the province with concerns on some fields in Pictou (3 weather stations and nearby fields to watch). I am not as worried as last week’s frost but there are a few fields near those areas worthwhile to be checked.
If you have any feedback or things to share, please text or call Hugh Lyu, at 902-890-0472; or hlyu@perennia.ca. Thank you!
I would suggest growers
who have fields near those areas/weather stations check their fields and assess
potential frost damage, especially fields in Pictou.

Fields near Blanchard Road, Blue Mt. and Moose River are around 10% bloom which puts those fields at a lower risk but damage would still occur to any open flowers. |
