Frost damage to almonds
Almonds are susceptible to frost once they begin to flower. As a flower progresses through bloom (i.e. dormant > pink bud > full bloom > petal fall > small fruit), it becomes more susceptible to cold temperatures. Frost killed flowers/small fruits are easy to identify as the color of the tissue changes.
