Cold hurting fruit crop Indiana

Low temperatures Thursday night and those expected tonight and Saturday night could leave the US peach trees peachless. Other fruit crops could be hurt, too. Mild weather last weekend made peach, apricot and apple trees erupt in bloom. "When the temperature falls too much, the bloom will drop off, and there won't be any peach", said Bill Beiersdorfer, owner of Beiersdorfer Orchard in Guilford, Indiana. Beiersdorfer Orchard counts 45 acres of apples, 15 acres of peaches and smaller patches of pears, plums, apricots and cherries. Despite the fact that the frost came so fast the bloom is so thick in his orchard that even if he loses 10 percent of his fruit to the freeze, he'll still have a good crop.
