Post-Frost Event Summary- May 23, 2023_ -from 55 weather stations in wild blueberry fields

Tuesday, May 23, 2023

 Dear growers,

 

The following stations reported below -2 c during this morning’s frost event which is a concerning point this time of the year for many fields because of opening flowers.

 

If you have fields near those stations I listed below, ESPECIALLY those stations highlighted in red where temperatures were low and the duration was also more than 3 hours, please check you fields! 

 

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!
