Called for killing frost between 12:00 a.m. and 10:am so im out watering my 3rd yr white peach tree to warm it up as its only bearing 3 yrs and had more blooms than ever. White peaches have a hard time in my climate....its about 30 degrees now.

good luck

Thx Roy...hope you are doing well up there!

Tarp it.

Too big to tarp..watering is the only method feasable for me...temp drops at daylight just sprayed again.

that sucks. you see those big what the heck are they called smelting pots... smudge pot I think. Can prob make one cheap.

Watering is feasable. I can direct the 55 degree water where I want it and 20 or so feet up also. Temp is now 28 and roof and car are iced with frost.

Was told by an elder that high N like
miracle grow added to spray helps.
I've done this but no control test.

I just watered again and there were ice balls from the last watering 10-15 min ago. The theory is the ice helps insulate it...hmmm...a few days will tell. Thx for the tip wright brothers...will try to keep some around for future needs.

No worries if they do not fruit one year you will have a great year next year. They might even make it - good luck.

last yr they were killed by frost....this yr was looking super promising. White peaches were from Ga. originally. Survived 3 frost this yr before now. Had its 30 yr old predcessor killed by frost.

Watered the iceballs again...sun coming up so hopefully it burns off the frost and ice.

Good luck as far as soft mast goes it looks just like last year = a wash out!!! To warm to soon.......jk

Should have ran a heater under it all night.Even a turkey cooker on low would have done it.

Watered again.....i never did it before. Didnt want a washout 2 yrs in a row. This yr it survived 3 frost already ..now this is number 4. Usually left it be but with the hord of blooms this yr I wanted the peaches.

agreed!!

Soft mast did well here last year but no hard mast.
Pretty sure I am South of youns.

Hey is there such a thing as DWARF peach trees that make fruit?
I almost bought a pair but noticed flowering only.
I don't do flowers.

Lol,,saw those also at walmart...called patio peach. I thought about one but then went back and read FLOWERING!!!! I also dont do FLOWERING!!!

What a night

just did another spray and see sun burning off roof and car now but hasnt hit peach tree yet. Soon I hope. I have a school meeting soon.
