STONE FRUITS

Back in 2016, the northeast (from roughly central New Jersey up through New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont) experienced an abnormally warm month in the midst of winter followed by two cold snaps. The abnormal warm spell tricked a variety of stone-fruit trees into flowering prematurely, but when the two subsequent freezes occurred, most of the crops were destroyed.
