Kurt, October 19, 2015 temp at midnight was below freezing and dropped to 24 for three hours, 3am to 6am here. Plenty of apples still on trees. Some varieties did not thaw until late that day. Some trees looked like they had been torched, black leaves. We continued PYO for three weeks, I don't recall any complaints, certainly nothing like what we got after the couple hail storms we had this past June. 17 degrees? Now that could be a problem. Good luck! Haven't you had enough of the PYO for this year anyhow?
