Freeze Kills Beloved Fruits

The April 2026 spell of exceptionally hot weather forced cherries, peaches, pears, apples, nectarines, and apricots to blossom and set fruit early this year. The hot sunny days were followed by a 23 degree freeze in Bucks that killed as much as  95% to 98% of the tree fruits across Bucks. The deep freeze reached the rest of PA as well as all of NJ and up into NY and New England, destroying the region’s 2026 tree fruit crop  in one fell swoop.
