Growers were confident
Recently, frosty temperatures had a firm grip on California's almond orchards. Now, however, the days are warm and sunny again and farmers are surveying the potential losses. According to experts from Blue Diamond Almonds, the central and southern regions have suffered varying degrees of damage. In the more northerly growing regions, producers in colder areas are even reporting some total failures. How this will affect the crop, however, cannot yet be conclusively assessed. The formation of the fruit set is a good indicator of the expected yield. In California, the almond trees flower with some delay depending on the region, so that in some places the flowering period was virtually over when the frost started, while in other areas the trees were just experiencing the peak phase of flowering.
