Freeze after Blueberry Petal Fall

Ernie
9 years ago

Has anyone dealt with a mild freeze right after blueberry petal fall? I've read some conflicting information about the critical temperature at this stage -- NCSU says 28 degrees, but Michigan State says that damage can occur at 32 degrees. Our forecast is for 31, and I have a lot of newly set berries on both rabbiteyes and southern highbush. This is the first time since I began growing blueberries that I've had to deal with this scenario -- we're already two weeks past our average last frost date here.
