The VA Cooperative Extension reported 75% or greater loss in peaches and cherries. Apple damage is not as wide spread, very dependent on variety and location. Though it is still too early to know for sure, as apples will naturally shed some fruit, call ���June Drop��� though this typically occurs late May around here. My sense is that we may see 80% of a full crop, assuming no other issues before harvest. Grape losses were estimated around 10-15% loss.
