1. heavily mulch around the base to keep the ground cold later into the spring
2. paint the trunk and branches white to reflect light
3. the best. put this tree in the shade of something that doesnt reach it until
spring has really sprung.
4. use a flip flop watering on teh tree during late frosts.

Last year I had the best crop ever, maybe a dozen fruit per tree.
Most years the fruit is killed by late frosts.
