Default What aspect is this?

Are you located where you are bothered by late frosts in the spring
freezing the buds on your fruit trees? One method some use here to
overcome that is to plant them on the North side of the house. Apparently
this causes the trees to delay their blooming for one to three weeks and
allowing them to miss the late frost. "Full Sun" is considered to be 6 to 8
hours, as explained in the catalogs I receive.
