A drought in California has caused a large almond crop to be destroyed by deadly fungus.
The Fresno Bee reports the almond crop of 5,500 trees was harvested on April 20, and the crop was destroyed within three days.
The cause is unknown, but it is likely due to a fungus called a fungus of the oak family that attacks almond trees and destroys their fruit.
The trees are often found in California, and it’s believed the fungus caused the damage.
The loss of $7.5 million a day has been estimated at around $1 million.
The fungus is found in the fruit and the stem of the almond tree.
A lot of the fruit is not eaten.
The almond growers said the trees will not be harvested again.
The California almond industry is experiencing an economic crisis.
There are now about 10 million acres of almonds in California.
The state’s almond industry has been struggling to keep up with demand.
The industry was in trouble last year.
It lost about half of its customers and lost revenue.
In February, almond growers announced that they would stop processing the fruit due to the drought.
