Chris,
I'm experimenting with a spray on product
that was suggested by Gordon Nofs. The company that sells it is
Abscission Organics, phone 603-392-9330, e-mail Gianni-2@prodigy.net. They
send a sizable free sample, and also give a discount to Nafex
members. It's probably too late to get any in time for the next cold
snap, though.
I've never lost a tree to a late
freeze. They get damaged and suffer a setback, but as soon as
the warm weather returns, so does the greenery.

It's been a cool, damp spring here, so much flowering, growth has
been delayed, but things have begun to push (apricot began flowering
last weekend) Tonight temperatures are predicted in the low 30s
and Wednesday night I've seen predictions as low as 27 degrees.
If I lose my fruit crop for the year so be it, but on a number of
plants the leaf buds have elongated and are starting to open.
I'm concerned that the buds might be killed and I might lose the
plants. Is this a legitimate concern?
I can set up a
sprinkler in one place, but my plantings are somewhat scattered. If
we do get to 27 degrees I'm not sure a sprinkler would help.
Any
suggestions?

P.S. One
thought I had (since many of my plantings are small) was that I could
drape the plants with buds the furthest out with wet
towels.
