PSA: Frost Warning & Some Easy Fixes
Channel: Ross Raddi
Date: 16/04/2020

There's a potential frost coming in on Friday morning. If you're in the Northeast and aren't located near a large body of water, good luck to you. This will probably be my biggest test for the remainder of the spring. If we get through this upcoming night with no frost, the flowers and many fruits that have already set will be fine. Although, a light frost depending on the duration can kill all of the flowers/fruit or nothing at all. The staples that'll fruit no matter what: Figs, persimmons, jujubes, mulberries. This is why they are so valuable to me. Check the cloud cover, dew points and wind that night. The more clouds and wind, the less likely you'll see frost. Some protection methods: run the sprinklers on your trees, cover plants, move them indoors. Unfortunately if you grow fruit in this part of the country, this is something you'll deal with every year. Take precautions.
