Orchards in the Creston Valley are still left reeling from damage caused by abnormal winter weather.
A devastating cold snap killed fruit buds across the valley in January, with a major impact on peaches, cherries, apricots, prunes, plums, nectarines and grapes.
At Wloka Farms, the lack of fruit has led to heavy financial losses for the season.
“We found four apricots so far. That's it,” said owner Barb Wloka.
