"Icing" of trees is something the professional citrus farmers have done.
Unless it is done under controlled conditions it can kill the plants
I have, when we have had a heavy frost , gone out and "washed" the frost off before it was able to do any damage.
We do get a few amateurs that ice their plants but this is usually because they forget to turn off their irrigation systems
woo hoo it has warmed up to a "toasty" 33, W/C is up to 26 !!!!
I was loving the heated seats in the car this morning !!!
My daughter totally forgot about the citrus farming in FL... Last week, she asked me why folks in FL were complaining about the cold, "Jeez Mom, that's nothing compared to the cold we get here." So yes, I shared the dire consequences of a deep freeze in the citrus growing parts of our country....and how such a freeze doesn't just affect the citrus growers' livlihood, but the citrus fruit supply across the nation as well. I wish I had seen this information first though....Thanks for sharing it, I'll have to share this with her as well.
Location: I never said I was perfect so no refunds here sorry!
