peach tree blooms and frosts
DO NOT cover the tree with plastic sheeting!!! Use some form of cloth. The
plastic sheeting will intensify the cold transfer to the tree.

I had a few peach trees years ago and maybe every 5 years or so crop
would be greatly diminished due to too warm weather in February
causing blooming when a lot of hard frosts would follow. The light
frosts were not a problem as frost free date here is May 15.
tonight is forecast down to 25F. she will
cover the tree. we hope that will be enough.
