Texas winter storm might not be harmful for Hill Country peach crops
There might finally be some good agricultural news after last month s winter storm, Uri. According to Hill Country peach growers, the freeze that hit the area in mid-February arrived before the trees started forming buds. This means this year s peach crop shouldn t be affected by the storm.
Now that more typical weather has returned to the area, growers are pruning trees, planting new ones and treating them with a protective spray that keeps winter pests at bay. Peaches need a certain amount of ‘chill hours’, so having a prolonged cold spell before budding could help this year s crop.
