[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3976398, member: 5412"] Before our apple tree died from old age, it always bloomed early and produced many 5 gallon buckets of apples. It always bloomed in March here in NC Ok, but had to endure a couple of light frosts before spring set in. What we did was to run a couple of impact sprinklers on it so both sides were covered with the water. We have a well, with the water running in the 50 degree area during the winter. If you keep putting that temperature of water on the tree, it will preserve the blooms........to a certain temperature. If the temps get down to the mid to high 20's, the water will freeze on the tree and potentially bring the limbs down with the weight of the ice build up. [/QUOTE]
