Hi Chris:
Your welcome, Sadly... I guess your right it wouldn't reach you in time.
The only suggestion I could make other than let me
send you some is to do a
engine search in your area and see if you can find
someone locally that has
any kind of cold processed seaweed kelp liquid or
dry hydrolyzed and get it on
there before it
starts raining as it has to be absorbed through
the crop/plant
to work and begin
to offer some protection.
You may lose fruit but you wont lose your
crops/plants in a freeze.
If you do have some fruit survive the stuff I send
you will not only band-aid the
fruit that survived but boost your crops/plants if
there are any more freezes
you'll be ready... And you'll get terrific
results.
Got any tiki torches? J/K
Best wishes,
Gianni

Gianni, Thanks for the kind
offer, but I think being in Pennsylvania, and needing it by tomorrow night
(or possibly tonight) its wouldn't get here in time (and its unlikely I'd
get to spray it.) I'm going to try several ideas: 1) Set up my
sprinkler in one place 2) Cover what I can and place filled water jugs
under the covering. 3) Hang miniature christmas lights on one
apricot.
See what happens and watch the forcast.
