Recovering from Freeze Damage

It's springtime!  The trees that were damaged are pushing new growth where they had lost all their leaves due to Decembers record lows.

    I suppose on the other side of the pond you can find something similar to a product here called Thiofer - it's an organic mix that increases the plant's tolerance to the cold. You need to spray it on the trees a day or two before the incoming cold weather, and it gets metabolized by the plant in three-four days (so if the cold is persistant, spray again). It helped me to minimize the damage in my young orchards two winters ago (it did really work).

    1. Thanks, I'll look into it. We've tried various products with little or even detrimental effects before.
