Where I am these trees do fine (-20oF for lows). In fact, apricots originate in
somewhere like Mongolia. it is spring if there is a sudden late frost that knocks
the petals off that is the problem.
Now there are low chill varieties and varieties for southern climates that may be
more sensitive. that I dunno

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?
