Saving Fruit Trees and Other Plants from a Freeze

If you have fruit trees, berry bushes, grape vines or herbs that already have flowered, or are already growing fruit, you need to protect them from a late spring freeze, or early frost in the fall.

We have an unexpected Polar Vortex headed our way, and I need to save my fruit from freezing now, or we won’t have any crops this year!

I have tried using the water spray technique to spray fruit so that the freezing water will keep the fruit for going below 32 degrees F. But that comes with its own problems, what with freezing hoses, etc. And now that my organic food forest has trees over 30ft tall, that makes it difficult to reach the entire orchard/vineyard/berry bushes and nut trees with spray.

So this time I am going to try something different, using standard BBQ propane tanks and various propane heaters.

Watch this video to see how we make out, and I will be able to critique what works best for the future.
