I planted alot of fruit trees behind my house the first of February and they were doing great and blooming , then this cold snap hit and i covered them all yesterday afternoon and then removed the cover at 5:30 this morning . I hope they make it after all the freeze , i guess i will repeat the steps this afternoon as well . The trees are all about 4 feet tall and i sprayed the blooms with water before i covered them .

why did you spray the blooms with water right before a hard freeze?
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

They talk about doing it to peach trees every time it freezes. Dont know if it helps though.

why did you spray the blooms with water right before a hard freeze? They do it in orange groves in Florida all the time. Keeps the plants closer to 32 with a hard freeze.

Uh oh....what is the verdict?
Be kind to one another and tell the ones you love that you love them often. We never know what tomorrow will bring.

They do it in orange groves in Florida all the time. Keeps the plants closer to 32 with a hard freeze. Yep...if the temp is going to be 19 or 20 degrees, encasing blooms/fruit in a coat of ice keeps it at around 32° and helps to minimize crop loss.
