Temperatures in Denmark dropped dramatically over the weekend. Danish fruit growers fear this will have a negative impact on the harvest later in the year.
Bendt Olsen farms in Odder, Denmark. He cultivates apples, pears, berries, and flowers. His plants, bushes, and fruit trees are not resistant to sub-zero temperatures. When there is night frost in May, he regularly used a heating fan.
“It stays on the whole night; from the moment the temperature drops below freezing. It is the only way to save the harvest," he says. Olsen has been working hard over these last few days, as have many other fruit growers.
According to meteorologists, night frost is not unusual for the first week in May. In the last decade, night frost has occurred somewhere in Denmark every year during this period.
