Late frosts are an ever-increasing danger for early-flowering fruit trees. The tender, new shoots of fruit trees are particularly at risk during late frosts.
Frost damage to plants and trees can manifest itself in various ways. The trunks of fruit. trees can be protected from frost with a white coat of. lime. This prevents the bark from cracking and pests from entering. It is best to do this in the fall when the trees are already forming. The weather in spring tends to become warmer due to climate change.
