According to the Minnesota Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association newsletter, most Minnesota apple orchards escaped relatively well, or less than 30% bloom loss, especially the larger orchards from the freezes in early April. However, there were some spotty pockets that suffered large losses.
The worse losses according to Minnesota Apple Growers Association was a local grower near Webster, Minnesota, where  Nelson���s Apple Farm in Webster, south of the Twin Cities, had 80 to 90 percent of his crop damaged.  The damage occurred after a balmy March jump-started the bloom cycle, then freezing temperatures in April nipped the delicate blossoms at a critical stage.
Southern Minnesota growers were hit harder than northern ones because more of their trees were already in bloom when temperatures plunged.
