Hillstream starts with ... Trees have sap flowing through them similar to humans who have blood. What I did I decreased the freezing point of the sap by using potassium. That means that instead of the sap freezing at zero degrees it would freeze at minus 10. When the frost came the trees were not affected in the slightest and I had 12 avocado trees that had just been planted. All 12 survived the frosts. | About the Author Hillstream 35 km sw from Boonah 19th May 2011 8:16pm #UserID: 5326 Posts: 1 View All Hillstream's Edible Fruit Trees |

amanda says... I am really curious about what is used as an 'interface' between leaves and frost..? Is there nothing that can be sprayed on the leaves (eg drought shield) that would protect them? (I know nothing about frost BTW.. just interested..) We use sunblock like this after all..? (just thinking aloud again.. :) was thinking how alcohol doesn't freeze - maybe there is something else similar..?) | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton, Mid West WA 20th May 2011 10:10pm #UserID: 2309 Posts: 4607 View All amanda19's Edible Fruit Trees |
