Drew, I think peaches and who knows what else are toast this year. We had -14 too. They say peach trees live only 10 years here. Mine made it to 15 but the painters hacked half of it off and the heavy peach load took down the rest in a storm last tear. It was Reliance and only had one peach-less season of 15.

Last year Jap beetles ate ALL the fruit and left the pits IN ONE NIGHT at dd. I thought someone had come in and and their fill until I asked around.

To the raspberry end, an unknown red variety at the food donation garden cropped only once in late summer. The berries were small and tasty, but we were concerned about transport as they would crumble when picked ripe. I tried transplanting those suckers but they dried up and Ive never had success keeping rabbits away from the nice juicy canes from lowes. I have a few bare root from Gurneys but they have another year to go.
