If this was March or April I'd say yes, but since it is still very
much in the winter months I'd say no. Apricots are a little cold
tender than peaches and apples, but all of these trees require a
certain length of chill hours to set fruit, anyway. Last year my
peach had a million flowers in spring, but didn't produce one peach
because it never got cold enough for the fruit to set.

I have deciduous fruit trees that are dormant (Peach, apple, apricot). (As
they should be this time of year.) A couple have buds that haven't opened
(big surprise). We are supposed to get temps down into the mid- to upper
20's this weekend with very little possibility of snow.

Question is this: Do the trees need to be protected from such cold
temperatures?
