I haven't seen the NH damage, but here in CT tender not hardened off newly flushed leaves on trees and shrubs have suffered leaf burns. The damage due to temperatures that fell on Tuesday May 11 into the 20's in many interior locations in New Engalnd. During the first few days of May many locations were near 80 combined with warmer than normal April temperatures the trees and shrubs pushed alot of new tender growth. That growth was damaged and will drop off. Most plants will push new growth again but will be setback this growing season.
Crop damage to Fruit trees occurs with these extreme temperature changes. We can only hope for the best for our growers this growing season.
