The state of Georgia suffered a catastrophic loss due to a late winter freeze that destroyed more than 90 percent of this year’s peach crop. Not since 1955, when the whole peach crop was lost, has Georgia suffered such a loss. Right now, the summer peach trees have little to no fruit on them and there is no commercial trucking showing up to pack what few peaches might remain. The deep-freeze occurred in March. It followed weeks of unseasonably warm weather, which triggered an early bloom that led to even more damage from the deep-freeze event.
