Hi all. For those of you with fruit trees, did you get any damage from the freezing temperatures the past two nights. Here in NJ, many fruit trees have been flowering because of the mild winter making the threat of damage from freezing temperatures very real. I used a bunch of IR lamps pointing to the canopy and the large peach tree still has most of it's flowers in tact along with a number of flower buds that haven't opened yet. Not sure if it helped but was worth a try. Luckily it didn't get down to the upper teens as forecasted last night and stayed in the mid-20s instead.
This tree provided a ton of tasty peaches last year and I'd hate for two nights of cold temps to minimize fruit production this year.
