While some growers lost everything, and face losing their  businesses, there's optimism from others who have fruit on their trees. Lauren also explains why Conservationist Kay Griffiths is calling the district "bat central", with a colony of long-tailed bats found roosting in a farm shed roof in Central Hawke's Bay.
