Deciduous fruit and Freezing Temps
Thanks, Ingrid. That was pretty much what I was hoping for; practical
experience with these sorts of things.
So far this weekend, all trees look like they're doing fine. I'm also
reassured by the lack of news stories on how damaged these sorts of trees
aren't because of the cold. Citrus; now that's another matter entirely.
Growers are falling all over themselves to protect their fruit.

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
